Beer Blog Review - Great Lakes Brewery - Nosferatu


Just in time for Halloween....yesterday. Nosferatu, Dracula, the undead mother pucker, this beer is teh tits. Great Lakes brewery is the best thing to come out of Cleveland since the 1986 Browns and their slow ass quarterback. Since Cleveland is the land of wasted talent and bone crushing ball smashing defeats I would think that they would know how to produce some high alcohol content great tasting beer. Unfortunately it is not offered in Indiana...anywhere. You have to cross state lines to enjoy Great Lakes brews. Believe you me, it is worth it. There are many to choose from in the Great Lakes family and none of them suck. Let me stick with this one though, Nosferatu.


Name: Nosferatu

Brewery: Great Lakes Brewery outta Cleveland, Ohio

Alcohol content: 6.4%

Presentation: Classic. As you can see, it has the titular character gracing the cover making it feel like you're getting drunk on Holloween.

Hangover Factor: High. High alcohol content, drink only 6 in a setting if you're a big alcoholic like me. 2 if you're a normal person.

Only Available: Between September and October. Dammit.

Color: Red

Type: Ale

Taste: Harsh yet bold like a good cigar. I recommend a good cigar with it by the way.

The Best Thing: USC loses, Yankees win, Big Ten rules for the day. Nothing to do with the beer but. WOOOOOOOH!

Great With: Meat. Anti-vegan, my type of beer. Just don't tell Natalie Portman who thinks that eating meat is akin to murder and rape, but signed the free Roman Polanski petition. Hollywood is the land of the hypocrite, isn't it

Beer Blog Rating: 3.888888 out of 4.

Porn Star Equivalent: Candy Samples. Plump yet delicious.

This is a great beer, and believe me, I will be visiting the Great Lakes line in the future.
