Their Blackwater Series. Pours dark! Not much head at all. To be honest, tastes like Pumking but with some stout-ness to round it out. It's Pumking for stout drinkers! Nuff said...
Oktoberfest Lager
Lakefront Brewery, Inc.
Milwaukee, WI

It is October! Pours a deep copper. Carmel-y malts. Classic German style. More body than your traditional lager of course. Starts out, okay but I must say it gets better as the glass warms. Room temp may be the way to go...

Frothy head. Nice light golden ale. Crafted to remove gluten. Huh, wouldn't have guessed at all. Decent malt profile for a golden; reminiscent of a German lager. This would go great with anything, and not over...

Summer seasonal wheat ale with extras. Aroma has a slight berry-esque component. Taste has a certain distinct "berry" flavoring. I'm not so convinced it's actual elderberries though. Medium to light watery...
