This is my first beer review and let me start by saying that I am no expert and I do not have a developed pallet. I'm just an average guy who likes not so average things; beer included. So today I picked up Samuel Adams' Dark Depths Baltic IPA. This is a heavy beer clocking in at 7.6% alcohol and comes in a drinkable one pint six ounce size bottle. On the first pour it was a really dark amber, almost black. It had a nice brownish tan head on it that faded really quickly unfortunately. I don't usually care for IPAs but I'm slowly growing a taste for them. However I do like dark and malty beers so this appealed to my tastes. I really like it! It has a hoppy nose and finish but the overall flavor is malty and slightly nutty. This is definitely a full flavor beer with lots of complex characteristics. If you're looking for something out of the ordinary but still a safe bet this is a good one to pick up. And at under $6 in my area it's fairly affordable. Let's not skip over the amazing label! I really like beer labels and have a fairly impressive collection that is taking up too much room in my house honestly. Dark Depths has an intricate drawing of an old divers helmet with a Sea Serpent passing through it! If I loved it enough it would be tattoo worthy, but I don't love it that much. To be honest I haven't had a Sam Adams I don't like though and in my opinion they really can do no wrong. The Sam Adams brewery is always spot on and always gives you a satisfying beer. This is a good beer for anyone who likes Chocolate Stouts, Abby's, Nut Browns or Porters. Four horns up! /,,/ /,,/
