Sep 11, 2008 Updated: Mar 25, 2009Pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Roasted coffee aroma and a malty taste with hints of chocolate, caramel and a nice malty body. One of my favorite Lakefront brews.

Sep 9, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Got it on tap at Wolski’s. Hell, if all else fails and you’re desperate for a brew, go for it. Very light bodied for a darker beer, and I’m told it’s partially made from the Milwaukee River, but overall it’s kinda aight.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours a translucent nut brown color with some amber highlights. Softly receding off white head leaves some clingy lacing behind. Nuts and spice in the nose, as well as a bit of dark toasted bread crusts. A touch of nutty earthiness in the flavor, with some light dried fruits, and a biscuity finish that lingers well after the finish.

Aug 8, 2008 12 oz bottle. One of the better bottled beers I have had from them recently. Pours a nice clear deep woody brown with a nice lasting off beige head. Aroma is intensely chocolaty, deep toasted malts, very nutty and some sweetness. More chocolate nutty malts in the flavor, biscuity, light earth, and good lightly sweet toasted malts. Good smooth finish as well. Almost too much chocolate malts and not enough deep dark munich malts but still works nicely.

Aug 3, 2008 12oz bottle: Buttery brown pour with a skimmish tan head. The upfront nose offers a healthy dose of chocolate and roast. The aromas are clean and well balanced, very enticing. Esthery notes of banana, plum and figs add another delicate layer. The body is creamy, expanding on the tongue with each sip. More coffee, sweet chocolate and flowery hops meld well in the body. Very drinkable and complex for a lower ABV beer.

Jul 31, 2008 Bottle: Poured a amber brown color with lots of head. Probably over carbonated. The aroma was of a roasted malts. The flavor was nutty, roasted, sweet, and chocolaty. Overall, a tasty beer.

Jul 10, 2008 Pour is clear brown with a medium roasted malt character. I got a light hop character in the beginning that moved on to a more roasted malt finishing with a little caramel. Pretty decent dark lager. Smooth. Not worth a second buy.
