Pour is a clear mahogany brown with a large tan head. Aroma is toasty sweet brown malt. Flavor is is sweet molasses with a slight toasted malt aftertaste. Nothing really exciting but drinkable with a little more flavor than alot of this brewers beers.

Pint can from a Kwik Trip, 11/9/20. Clear amber-red, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of toast, nuts, tinny hops. Taste is raisin, toast, grain, sweaty sock. Medium bodied, leans sweet but not off balance. Decent.

You know, I got a special place in my heart with leinie, right up there with saranac. These guys were the first to introduce me to the real varieties of beer, way back when. Got this bottle for a couple of bucks at chalet. It pours a darker clear brew. Nose is refreshingly dark, attractive and acceptable; almost makes my mouth water. Taste is quite nice as well, its rather friendly and civilized. A little toffee in there fer sure. Quite surprised about its ability to hide its alky content. Tastes pretty good for a bock beer but, I'm curious as to why the alky level is quite low for this style. Has just the right amount of flavor jolt to let you know its a bock, without insulting yer senses. Very good level of co2 sizzling for the palate, nice. Overall its simply a good example of how well a domestic beer company can come to terms with the real old style euro bocks of the old country. Another nice job lienie!
