I love Samuel Adams. The beer. Their quality, selection, availability and attention to their customers is unparalleled. They are the largest 'craft' brewer in the country, the leaders of the pack, and for good reason. So last week, while in a Publix I hadn't been in before, I see they have a variety 12 pk and it has one of the few Sam Adams brews I haven't tried yet - Scotch Ale. 48 hours later (on payday) I went back and picked up the 12 pk, even though it included 2 bottles of White Ale (a wheaty seasonal I don't particularly like) and 2 bottles of Boston Lager (their original and most commercially available beer, one I don't think belongs in a mixed sampler pack).
Fortunately, it also included 2 bottles each of the Black Lager, Honey Porter & Boston Ale, all of which I love. See, most of these beers come from the Sam Adams Brewmasters line, but unfortunatly, not all of them are available in 6 packs. Some, like the Scotch Ale and the other 2 I haven't tried, are only available in mixed variety packs.
So I got home and threw them in the freezer only to pull one out about 20 minues later and crack it open... and, of course, take a picture:
I was going to send it as a Beer of the Day, but I held back because, to me, the Beer of the Day is the beer I choose to sit down and drink that day, and that, in and of itself, means more than just two... So the picture stayed in limbo until now.
I dont like to review from memory so all I can say is that it was good. Strong, malty, with a certain, almost scotch flavored smokiness, and with that typical, gritty, underlying Samuel Adams flavor. A very interesting brew, one I wish I could have more than two at a time of.
One down and two to go. Well, three actually. I still haven't tried the Samuel Adams Hefeweizen or Pale Ale, once I knock those two down then I will have sampled all the Seasonal offerings and everything from the Brewmasters collection. After that, I would like to find and try at least one of their three Imperial brews, mainly the Imperial Stout, and since I have a $15 bottle of Chocolate Bock waiting for the right occasion to crack it open, once I do those two I can call it a day. Until I have a big enough wallet to be able to pick up a bottle of Samuel Adams Utopias... but thats another story (Google it if you want to know what I'm talking about).

For the record, missing from the above picture is a bottle of Cherry Wheat, Boston Ale, Scotch Ale and, of course, the Chocolate Bock. I have all of those now but I'm not retaking the picture until I find the Hefe, the Pale and an Imperial... and until my new Samuel Adams tulip glass arrives in the mail.
Yup, safe to say I'm a fan.
Overall quality and a prompt and personal reply to my email go a long way with me... I prefer to spend my money with companies that give a shit. The Boston Beer Company has proved to me that they do, therefore, they have earned my love and support. No bullshit. Besides, the beer kicks ass.
