Here at ScapeGoat Ink, when we find something we like, we stick with it. When we had our first booze experience, we fell in love and we've been functioning alcoholics ever since. Just kidding. Well, sort of. Our love of booze is the reason for our website and for this very blog, which is why even though we've written about this brewery before, we had to write about another one of there beers because they're just so damn good at what they do.  

WEEK 30:
Leinenkugel's Creamy Dark Lager


Upon first pour this beer doesn't appear to be that dark or creamy. Instead it has more of a reddish chestnut color with a decent cap of foam. The smell isn't that revealing either, perhaps a caramelized, nutty hint, but nothing overpowering. This beer is like on a blind date where the only description's supplied of the person you're meeting do not immediately appear true. However, as the night progresses you realize that perhaps you were being a little judgmental. So what if her chest size was a little off? And, who cares if her Adam's apple is twice the size of yours. Big deal, right? Cindy, I'm sorry. Call me? I'm so alone. Anyway, this beer has a great combination of flavors, with a chocolate, malty, slightly fruity, and a roasted nutty zest rounding it out. Are there better lagers out there? Yes, but we appreciate a brewery that knows good beer, and doesn't gut you on the price. Leinenkugel's, keep on keepin' on!
