Leinenkugels Creamy Dark

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: American Dark Lager
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

A nice deep brown beer with a firm head. It shows a nice flavor of hops and malt that round out with a crisp smooth finish.

Pours dark, dark amber with a small head that quickly dissipates. I think i would have liked the appearance more if not for the "creamy" in the name which makes me think of a nice thick head. Colour was nice though Can’t actually in good conscience say what it initially smelled like, but after a few sips it had a malty caramel smell, which was still not entirely pleasant. Taste was extremely balanced. Hops, malt, caramel, coffee, with a little bit of bitterness are all there. It’s pleasant, but in no way special. Mouthfeel is a nice amount of carbonation although light bodied and a little watery, but i like the way it uses your whole tongue to taste. Easy drinking beer that lends itself to another despite being nothing special. Almost too balanced as it doesn’t really stand out in any significant way.

12 oz bottle: Mohogany brown w/a lasting darker cream colored head. Initial aromas are toasted, roasted, and grainy malts. As it warms it becomes more toasty & roasty, and has hints of green apple and a touch of sulphury yeast. Flavor is much the same, clean and toasted with some light roasted coffee flavor. Finish is on the semi dry side and has a lightly roasted aftertaste. High carbonation makes for an initially prickly to downright biting mouthfeel if held prior to swallowing. Lighter body. Not a bad beer! I’m not really into lagers in general, but this is halfway decent as you can taste some actual grains instead of tasting like a bland, adjunct laden macro beer!

pours dark brown with cream head. smells of burnt caramel. goes down smooth and has nice caramel, roasted malt taste. very drinkable

12 oz bottle. Pours black with a quickly dissappearing brown head. Very little lacing. Aroma was of roasted malt and coffee. Flavor was somewhat bitter and dry. Palate was fair, as it had a pleasant finish. This is a thin brew, but one has to keep in mind it’s a lager, not a stout. Overall, it’s better than I thought it would.

Thanks Kyle. 12 oz bottle taste better then it smells. Dark brown with small tan head. Malty dark fruit aroma with notes of sweaty socks. Peppery, a bit sour, astringent, a bit dark roasted flavor.

Bottle. Poured a dark black thin color. Aroma of malt and corn. Taste is like water very thin beer not good.

chocolate, caramel, black, frothy, lightly bitter, light sweetness, medium body, average carbonation, Bitter at first, but the taste gets better as it sits in your mouth. I enjoyed this beer.
