Bland aroma doesn’t leave much to the imagination, however, it is a good warmer bodied brew. Spirits of toasted coffee beans with a dab of creamer is a way I would describe the taste. Chalky aftertaste will engulf your mouth for a brief while afterwards. For Leinenkugel’s , this is still one of my favorites from the company though.

As one would expect from looking at the photo (stage left) this beer appears to be incredibly inviting: dark, dark, dark color with a thick white head. The aroma as well is of roasted nuts which takes the intrigue to the next level. Unfortunately this is where the compliments end. The taste was thin, slightly bitter, and had a peculiar element that didn’t seem natural. The aftertaste as well showed much of the same. These folks at Leinenkugels appear to really want to make a great beer, but they haven’t found the right combination just yet. This is a lousy beer.

Pours a dark ruby brown with a thin tan head. Sweet nutty malty aroma. Taste is nutty with a nitro like creaminess and a light bitter finish.

Decent brew. Pretty simple, easy to drink. Thin bodied, smooth, not creamy.

Had this one at the Leinenkugel’s brewery. Consistent quality batch-to-batch and quite smooth overall.
