Malt Beverage Brewed With Spices

Boston Beer Company
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
$8.50 a six pack
My Strength Rating: 3.5 due to the watery edge.
Let me give my opinion first: I think this Winter Lager is just okay.
A good looking lager with a clear deep copper color for the body and a bubbly off-white head. Solid lacing on the glass. The nose has an herbal spicy aroma mixed in with some malts.
The flavors are sweet grains with a caramel back drop and the hops must be doing their job to keep things in balance. The spice reminds me of cinnamon. At times I notice a watery edge to this lager. I think I have lost my taste for this beer. Maybe it is just me but, I think this beer is boring nowadays. Does anybody know if they changed the recipe?
The overall taste seems diluted and boring.
