Rich amber with light cream colored, multiform head. APA aroma. Reasonably good malt/hop balance, but definitely on the hoppy side. ABV is noticeable, lifting the hops too far, esp. later in the drinking. Could be too much ABV...definitely. Big hop burp. (on tap at Broadway Pub, Granville, OH)

Dec 31, 2009 12 oz bottle pours burnt orange with big frothy eggshell head that lingers. Nice lacing. Pine, caramel and cherry aroma. Touch of sweet nut then huge bitter finish. Tastes like a solid west coast barley wine. Good carb and a pretty good beer.

Dec 31, 2009 Yet another of the Great Lakes I have an old note from but really need to try again. Amber pour with medium light tan head. Aroma of caramel malt and citrus hops. Sweet malt backbone balanced out nicely with all of the hops. That’s all I’ve got - need to get again.

Cleverly named and quite tasty, the Nosferatu is a good beer with a sweet, flavorful early profile and a big hop bite to round out the finish. Enjoy this one, even during daylight.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep, rich red with a small white head. Aroma is quite hoppy and includes some dark malts as well. Flavor is very hoppy with a slightly malty finish. Distinctive GLBC hoppiness that is present in some of their other beers, most notably Burning River. Excellent beer, complex yet smooth.

Dec 5, 2009 Pours a nice copper color with a thin, dense, off-white head. Aroma has a very lively Marris Otter malt presence, a great hoppy nose - earthy, light pine with lots of heavy overall bitterness. Flavor has a heavy Marris Otter malt toasted flavor, a very heavy bitter hops bite, earthy hops with a mild chocolate malt note and some heavy toasted finishing malt notes. Modest density and a smooth texture for a beer this bitter. Overall a fantastic brew and one well worth the money.
