Description
In May 1867, the Leinenkugel family brewery was founded in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin by Jacob Leinenkugel. He was a family man driven by an iron work ethic, and he knew that his German family heritage would play an integral part of his brewery’s success. Today, the sixth generation of Leinenkugels continues to brew some of the same family-inspired recipes that Jacob poured his heart and soul into. Over the years, our family has grown and so has our brewery, but our history and heritage remain at the forefront.

I thought this was OK. Appearance and palate is right and the flavors are traditional and standard, even if not the best example of the style, which I tend to believe is done better by the Czechs.Dark brown color with a bright red when held up to the light. Roasted malt, a good amount of sugar. Hop presence is there but minimal. One of Miller’s better beers I would say.

Bottle sample at the "Farewell to Vova Shack" tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks Stas. Deep golden. Aroma of malt, oxidized, cardboard, metal, a bit of caramel. Sweetish flavor with malt, a bit of caramel, a bit of oxidation, metal, and a slightly bitterish finish. Light-bodied.

Screw top bottle. From start I think this may be the notorious maple version Leinenkugel Maple Dunkel. It is sweeter with maple or sweeter influx almost bordering on cloying but never quite gets there. Comes back to the typical cool dunkel.....Yes, friendly porter stout mild influences mixed with a tad of that milk stout feel. On par for a dunkel, but could be little more civilized to match or compete with anything like Anderson Valley El Steinber Dark Lager Weeping Radish Black Radish Dark Lager Penn Dark Angel City Dunkel Brewtus Grifter 0r even Obolon Oksamitove (Velvet)
