Handwritten notes: Dark? Yes. Creamy? Perhaps. This is a coffee-like creamy lager, good for a Wednesday night. I'm sitting here, trying my best not to slander Leinekenkugel. I'm waiting for a bold flavour in one of their beers. But, instead it's like: "oh, the flavour is not bold because it's creamy". C'mon guys, W.W.J.D.? (What would Jacob (Leinenkugel) do?).
