Oct 8, 2005 Updated: Oct 9, 2005this being my third Great Lakes brew, im really starting to get a feel for these guys, and im loving them. This would be second next to the Holy Moses. Even though the moses rated lower than this, I personally loved it. I had this in a bottle. little hops present in this, but smells slightly sweet with a subtle sugary caramel aroma. Flavor has a sweet finish, but has a deep malt palate, and a sticky finish, medium bodied, by the way, dark amber in color. Well balanced. I enjoyed this beer alot. I will make a second purchase in the future. I chose this over the Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout, I think that I made a good choice. but we will see. I think these guys may be better than Bells, but hey, thats just my opinion, take or leave it. Either way they are making theirselves known immensely in the midwest.

Dec 7, 2005 Updated: Dec 8, 2005Bottle out of Great Lakes sampler. Dark amber color with a creamy off white head. Aroma sweet, also some spiceness as well. Slightly floral scent. Head is soft and creamy. Taste is a bit sweet, some toffee and maybe caramel. Some fruitiness like apples. Tiny bit of hops. The mouthfeel of the beer is excellent. Definitely the best Lager I’ve had so far.

May 20, 2009 Rich copper, barely tan head. Dry caramel roast aroma. Fairly full bodied, dry and dusty, though not like old stale malt, this is woodsy with a brown sugar finish. Maybe heavy for the style, but I enjoyed it.
