pours a dark brown with a light tan head. Aroma is a little coffee, a little nutty. Flavour is sweet malt, a touch of smoke. Slightly creamy yet clean finish. Not too bad. I actually liked it better out of the bottle though, so I don’t know what that says about it...

Not bad. Dark with a tan head. Roasted malts with slight creamy feel. A medium dark beer with similar palate as other Leinenkugel beers.

Had this on tap at my local Hooters bar. It was the only decent sounding beer they had so I gave it a whirl. It’s Leinenkugel, so I half exected it to be a watery mess, but it actually wasn’t that bad. Some slight coffee and malt on the nose, with a surprisingly good appearance. The flavor was a bit watery, but not as much as I’d expected. Overall a very drinkable dark beer, that went very well with the fried pickles(mmm!) i had.

A decent beer from a brewer I am not terribly fond of. Pours brown with tan dissipating head. Tastes of dark roasted malts, a little creamy in texture. Overall not bad.

Pours a nice dark chocolatey brown color with no head but a good carbonation. There is a nice malty aroma and a very faint hop aroma. The beer has a good flavor to it with some good malty backbone. There is a nice clean yeast profile which you would expect in a lager. The beer is fairly subdued compared to a stout, not nearly as rich, even though it is not a stout so I don’t know why I’m comparing it to a stout. For a dark beer I’d like to see this have some more backbone to it, there isn’t much mouthfeel and I’d expect that in a dark beer like this. I’d also like to see some more flavor complexity and some more interesting things in the maltiness, maybe some more roastiness or chocolatey flavor. There is a good balance between bitterness and maltiness here as well. It was an enjoyable beer for me, but just lacking in some places.
