I was impressed with this beer. A creamy, dark lager is something I’m not sure if I’ve had before. I’m a fan of Scotch and Brown ales. The tastes and feels similar. Sweet with hints of chocolate(?) lactose(?) Heavy, yeastey body of a lager. Highly acidic.

(Tap) Pours brown with slight tan head. Rather light (almost watery). Notes of caramel from the roasted malts. Pretty ordinary dunkel, but a well balanaced beer.

Out of a Led Zepplin pint glass from Hardings in Kalamazoo, MI. Brownish/black pour with a minimal tan head. Aroma is of caramel, roasted malts, a bit of chocolate, and heavy cream. Taste is creamy, malty, a bit of chocolate, and lighter of the style. Palate is sweet, short, and somewhat watery. Overall, It’s not the best Dunkel I’ve ever had, but it’s about what I expected from Leinenkugels. Decent.

Decent but very light for the style. Has a bit of a spicy hint on the tongue at first, with some strong hints of dark raisinated fruits, some chocolate and dark wheat bread, with just a bit of caramel in the malt.

Purchased at Beaver Valley Beverage in Monaca for 75 cents per 12 oz bottle. Nice and dark with a red glow in my three stooges glass but the flavor was a little weaker than I expected. Not too much bubble or fizzyness. Yuengling’s black and tan is a much better beer. A little watery, somewhat like Mich Amber Bock. Not bad for a dark beer, rather friendly and fun.

Old notes from Axilla’s impy night. Pours more of a dark amber/light brown moslty clear and a tan head. Light caramel aroma and hints of nuts and roast. Ligth caramel flavor nutty, toffee, munich, bready, and light chocolate malts and a clean hoppy bitterness in the end. Light body and high carbonation.

Dark brown colour with an almond frothy head. The nose is brown sugar and malty. I’ve got to say that I was surprised by some of the higher ratings that this beer got. I thought that it was a bit too spritzy, thin, and lacking in quite a few other areas such as hops and malt thickness. Not a great dunkel.

Nice smooth dark beer. Roasted malt flavor and not too bitter. Another excellent beer brewed by leinenkugels.
