Sam Adams Old Fezziwig Ale

INFO:
Sam Adam's Old Fezziwig Ale is a seasonal brew now found only in the Sam Adams Winter Classics Variety Pack. I ended up picking up a bottle from the Winter 2010 run (I presume) over the summer while buying beer in cases to circumnavigate the high alcohol prices of New York City


Year: 2010
ABV: 5.8%
From: 12oz bottle (chilled), and poured

DRINKING NOTES:
COLOUR: deep brown colour, with a dark coppery tint
FOAM: nice thick head of foam (poured with little finesse easily an inch or two)
off white, not very lasting

SMELL: sweet yet hoppy

TASTE:
(initial) sweet slighty roasted hoppy flavour
(body) nice, smooth
(aftertaste) slightly bitter
