Bottle. Leinenkugel’s nailed this one. Nice amber color with a really nice head. Aroma is a malty roasted grains with a hint of nuts. Taste is pretty damn good. Nice malty sweetness upfront with a grain bitterness finish. Good job.

Aroma of sweet malt and oak. Medium carbonation. Taste is smokey and intensely malty. Palate includes heavy earthy notes and maple. Good beer, hard to drink.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a nut brown color with a large foamy tan head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was sweet with toasty malts, molasses, yeast and a hint of vegetal malts. The flavor was tangy with caramel, molasses, yeast and pineapple. Medium length finish. Medium bodied and smooth. Pleasant.

Bottle, thanks for sharing! Pours a clear amber with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of earthy straw and grain with a bit of dust and some oak. Flavor has musty lager yeast, straw and bread with an earthy oak note underlying.

Bottle. Copper color. Well carbonated. Metallic aroma but it is not offensive. Good, not great malt flavor. A little caramel and dry grain sweetness.decent.

Pours a clear copper colour with large head of foam with decent lacing.

I get caramel and a honey like sweetness with light grain. .nice malt bill.

Definitely on the sweet side taste wise. Grain and earthy hops with the tiniest presence of oak. Flavours do not mesh all that well but it is drinkable.

12 oz bottle. Expired about a month ago. Aroma is light oak, generic beer, caramel malt. Pours slightly hazy new penny copper with a medium beige head that falls after a minute, leaving some lace. Taste is an improvement on the aroma, with the oak bringing out some nice vanilla notes. It’s a little boozy. The generic beer flavor comes through, which is a bummer, but this is pretty cool and out there for style, and for the brewery, as well. Edit: the aroma opens up after sitting for awhile with the oak coming through much more strongly; I upped my aroma a point.

From a twist off bottle this is typical old country not real dark lager. Dull, laid back malty medicinal thing. If I closed my eyes, I’d think this came from England or Belgium or something. Sweeter aroma. Thicker viscous somewhat cloying feel to it. Not sure if the oak is apparent. Perhaps an inkling of tartness sticks its wonderful head up in the end. Different for a change from liney.

Bottle. Woody toffee malt and straw aroma. Amber with giant light tan head. Sweet toffee malt and lightly bitter oak/hay flavor. Medium body. Not bad for a Vienna.
