drag to discover that this is a phillip morris corporate blood sucker product. like finding out your gentle uncle ned steps on bunnies. but hey, it’s still beer, aye? and beer is good. this one is bottle brown with a glint of orange. i’m tasting this beside a warsteiner dunkel--not an enthralling taste test perhaps, but okay for a monday night’s constrained mini- bacchanalia . leiny has a better head and a smoother palate, caramel and sweet. a little cardboard in the aroma versus the warsteiner’s walnut and alcohol notes, but very close. (just don’t tell me warsteiner is owned by union carbide!)

Good if you want a dark and creamy beer. Very basic though, look around for something a tad better. ReRate 4/18/2001 better than the 3 pts i gave it before-this is leine’s best beer by far and the great thing about this stuff is that its easy to get and its CHEEP as hell!!!!!! if you want to start drinking craft beers, pick up some leine’s Creamy dark, Red, BigButt or honey weiss

Had one on tap at the Montgomery Inn Boathouse in Cincy. Murky dark copper brown with orange highlights. Creamy off-white diminishing head. Light clean nose of straw, hay, grain, flowers, perfume, earth, and soap. Very toasty sweet malt taste with an average yeasty nutty finish. The medium body is thin and creamy with lively carbonation. The finish clean. One smooth brew.

Very drinkable for a dark. Tastes great on tap! I like drinking it in hot weather for some reason.

A dark and creamy beer that is pretty good. The dark and rich color pleases the eye and the taste is smooth and filling.

Good, but nothing like the Dunkels from across the pond.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A dunkel or a schwarzbier? I’m leaning towards schwarzbier: its darker and is less sweet and more spicy than dunkels.
Anyhoo: Dark garnet/brown color with a thick light tan head. Spicy chocolatey aroma, and a warm chocolatey malt flavor. Medium body - clean - nice. One of Leinie’s best beers.
