Commercial Description:
Leinenkugel 1888 Bock, a lucisous brew, originally created to serve lumberjacks, will be available for all who want to try its excellent boutique of Caramel, Pale and two-row Chocolate malts. Cluster hops add a touch of citrus character and when combined with Munich malts and a 20- to 25-day cold lagering process, you have a truly timeless beer.

Shared by Death with a K and Devonshire Clan- Amber brown pour with a thin off white head. Bread and malt with a tinge of citrus hops. The beer lacked a distinctive flavor and body. Slight stale finish... not liking this one.

Brewed in the USA...... Courtesy of the Devonshire boys. Pours dark brown in color with a thin off white head. Aroma of malts, smoke and caramel. taste is much of the same with a hint of molasses. Not bad, but there is something missing here?

Looks and smells good, but taste leave something to be desired. It has a bitterness that isn’t a good bitter. Other than that, it is mostly just a standard beer.

Ruby brown with a medium sized tan head.Smell is good roasted caramel, malt, and a bread scent.Tastes of roasted malts, molasses, caramel, hazelnut, and toffee.Not a bad beer overall. It is smooth with a good finish. I like most of Leinenkugeles beer though.

poured a dark caramel brown. Looked like it might be worth it. But no, tasted like a true Miller beer. weak, watery, and a waste. Had it at a beerfest. Nothing ventured - nothing gained.

Bottle. Pours and looks just like that picture to the left. Do you really need a description? Didnt think so. Smell is nutty and malty smelling, much better smelling than that god awful fireside nut shit beer. Taste is sweet and somewhat fruity tasting. Plenty of malts for this one too. Interesting beer, easy to session, but at 6.99 a sixer I am going to go for something else. Still, an interesting beer.

On tap, gotta say this was a rather disappointing selection from Leine’s. No nose, malty but bland taste. Had that cheap beer aftertaste that I would normally only attribute to a 70s of 80s local-macrobrew. You know, a microbrewery but not a craft brewery. I usually like a good bock, but I’d advise going with another option from Leinenkugels

Pours a thin dark brown with red. Small light tan head that leaves some thin lacing. Aroma is smoke and caramel. Flavor offers roasted notes, caramel, cookie dough, smoke, and faint hops. Feel is just a bit more substantial than medium. Just an average beer at best.
