To me it came across more like a Swartzbier. Thin body, dry, dark, and roasty. Infact it compares rather well to Sam Adams Black Lager, but it's missing some of the biscuity maltiness that the Sam Adams has. I was falsely expecting 250 to be a Foreign Export Stout or something exciting, but it was more porter like than either Guinness Extra Stout or Guinness Draught. This beer has wrecked my excitement for 250th anniversary beers. I guess I can scrap the plans of living till 2247 AD so I can try the Russian River 250. Oh yeah and Guinness 250.

A german style of glass traditional for Altbier so says wikipedia but they are woefully deficient on details. I tend to use mine when drinking German Heles or similar styles.
