Sample at brewpub. I give them credit for disclosing that they use corn in it. Better than BMC lagers, but not something I would buy (I sampled one that someone else bought).

tap at the Gaylord location - This one is the one beer from their "gourmet" list that I tried. Most of them have ridiculous price points. $4 for a 4 oz sample of a dunkel? No way. I took a chance on this one though and I’m glad. Pours hazy orange and has an aroma of citrus, pine, and rye. The flavor is strong with sweet rye character, citrus, and good bitterness. It’s medium to full bodied. Alcohol is noticeable but not strongly so. They had it listed as the oddly specific 15.32% though I doubt it was quite that high. Good complexity. Excellent beer.

tap at the Gaylord location - Pours copper-gold with an off-white head. There’s a mild citrus hop aroma. The flavor has strong bitterness backed by a good medium bodied malt profile. The expected long bitter finish is there too. It’s fairly good. It doesn’t stand out for IPAs, but it’s works alright.

tap at the Gaylord location - Pours very dark brown with a lingering tan head and good lacing. It has a mild roasted malt aroma. The flavor is much more robust with roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate plus a lingering bitterness. This is a good stout.
