Great Lakes Eliot Ness

smooth malt aroma with spice and toast. A touch of alcohol too. Caramel, brown suger, vanilla, and brown bread. Just enough bitterness to balance the malt.

Bottle from Archer Liquor. Pours reddish copper with a foamy off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel. Near medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is caramel and odd bits like nuts and stuff. Flavors aren’t weak. It’s not very bitter, and that’s how it finishes. Ok amber. Maybe better than ok, but more something would be better yet. Finishes more sweet than bitter, but it is rather smooth. If less than bitter is your thing, you will love this.

Bottle via trade. Copper color with a lasting white head. Aroma is sweet malt, grain, and brown sugar - not too pronounced overall. Flavor, however, is great, with caramel malt, nuts, brown sugar, and a little bit of citrusy/earthy hops on the finish. Smooth, creamy palate that’s fairly full for a vienna. High overall rating because it’s excellent for the style.

12oz bottle. copper color. Aroma of malted body, nice caramel. Flavor of pale malts, some wood notes. Aged very well, nice lagering. Well balanced. Not my type of beer, still really good.

Hard to believe I haven’t rated this - good thing I grabbed some on the way through Ohio - this is very malt-forward, even for a vienna, but it’s got a nice buttery character, and some biscuity dryness on the back that acts as a good transition to the beer’s hoppy finish - a bit of fruity character and nutty qualities throughout - this brewery does great things with lagers.

tobacco, winey smell, malt and dark sugar. it is darky ruby in the glass with a head that laces. it has a sticky grape,wine taste, burnt malts dry but with a burnt sugar taste. dry and oily mouthfeel. incredibly good

This is a very nice beer. Candied cherry aromas and flavor with a lingering finish. Enjoyed this very much.
