Sam Adams Baltic Lager:

Taste: 8 Finish: 8 Visual: 5 Aroma: 4 Total: 25 Almost black. Big creamy head. Lots of lacing. Roasted malt aromas. At first it has great porter flavors of roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Then the hops kick in. It gives it a vbit of spice. Also an undertone of citrus makin it very distinct. Finishes with a bit of a hop bite but mostly smooth. Grat hybrid of a beer.

Rubicon Capricorn Black Ale: 22

Taste: 7  Finish: 7  Visual: 5  Aroma: 3
Total: 22
Huge chocolaty head. Black as night ale. Aroma is faint but of roasted malt. Nice roasted/dark chocolate taste. It's very round in the mouth. A nice amount of malted flavors. Good hops at the end that linger just enough. Carbonation is light but enough to add a bit of "spice" to it. Very good black ale.
