Beer In-Review: Samuel "Sam" Adams Scotch Ale

Upon reviewing this brew, I've finally reviewed all of the Sam Adams varieties in both my fridge and in the Spring Variety Pack. Described as a brew for "adventurous ale drinkers," this one should be an interesting try. Adding to its uniqueness, according to the bottle, is its use of a peat-smoked malt used in scotch whiskies. Pours a dark amber color with a decent head. Here's the review:
Taste: Strange brew, goes down smooth. Can kind of make out the "smoky" taste. Not as bad as I would have thought. 3.5/5

Finish: Slightly bitter, but never overpowering. Unique to say the least 4/5

Final Score: 7.5/10

The Bottom Line: Decent ale with an interesting taste and finish. If you happen to pick up the Spring Variety pack before it goes away, it's definitely worth a try.
