Nice aroma of dark malt with hop. A mahogany color with a white head that quickly left. Medium body with creamy/fizzy carbonation. Flavor is slightly sour, with strongly roasted malt and some coffee. Something of a noble/hallertau hop presence. The finish is sweet malt, and the bitter is not fully balancing that. Still it is quite nice, and not that far off a porter in its way.

This darker yellow brown brew comes on like a pale ale; hops and dat. It’s clear why this rates high on a website loaded with IPA lovers. Stouthearted pilsner bite goes beyond, crossing over into hardy APA terrritory. Strong & alky but I didn’t really notice it untill i saw it listed here. Flavors keep you pre-occupied. Fairly bold personality with a finish that’s nearly in yer face, then hangs around for awhile.

12 oz bottle from Lakefront Sampler from Bottle Barn; Nose of coffee and bittersweet chocolate, not overpowering but appealing; Very dark hazy brown with a big cinnamon colored head; flavor is definately coffee, with chocolate and very light hop bitterness and a bit of sweetness. Body a little thin, but its not an impy! Better than the ratings say!

Bottle. Pours yellow, lotsa bubbles, an inch of rapidly fading white head. Smells like wet dog, wheat, and grass. Flavor of... uh, lemon and grass, but not much else... hell, not much of any flavor.
