Nosferatu (Great Lakes Brewing Co.)

Whoa, talk about a commitment beer.  I would say this is more of a beer that you drink with people who you are not trying to impress/flirt with.  That being said, we still highly enjoy this beer.

Nosferatu is the autumn seasonal beer from Great Lakes Brewing Company with a vampire on the front of the bottle.  It is the vampire from a famous 1920's silent German film, appropriately enough entitled Nosferatu.

This beer, an imperial red ale, is extremely hoppy with a bolder finish than the nose.  Unlike Goose Island's Harvest Ale, the taste develops while you are drinking it--it has more than just one note in it.  This beer, as I said before, is definitely a commitment beer.  It is much stronger, in our opinion, than other autumn seasonal beers.

ABV: 8.0%
Rating: Gene: 4.0  Lily: 3.5
