Chicago Old Town Brown

Brewed by Chicago Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Las Vegas, Nevada USA

Serve in Dimpled mug

Draught sampler. Ruby colour. Aroma of malts, vanilla, some whiskey notes as it warmed. Taste a thin reflection of the aroma, on the sweeter side. A little plain, but good enough.

Very light amber color for a brown. Mildly malty aroma. Too light in body for style and flavor may have been spoiled, buttery/diacetyl.

Pours a deep chocolate brown color with aroma of coffee beans and roasted malt. Taste of coffee and chocolate malt. A very easy drinking brown ale that I stumbled upon while walking Downtown Las Vegas. A must try if in the area.

I had this beer a while back and from what I can remember I enjoyed it. I’ve had this at the pub/brewery so it was fresh. Nothing special about it is popping into my head at the moment.

Pours a one finger off-white head that fades quickly to a ring leaving some lace. Deep mahogany color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Light malty nose. Flavor is bready and hoppy, with a dry metallic finish. On-tap $5.00 for a 22oz glass from Chicago Brewery in the 4 Queens Casino, Las Vegas, NV.

Draught at the brewpub. Mahogany colour. Appley nose. Sweet and clean, fairly light bodied. Syrupy and apply with limp caramelly malt. Low bitterness. Probably not in good shape, but when you are drinking at the brewpub they have control over every aspect of the serving.

On tap at the Four Queens location, and poured with a clear, brown hue, with ruby tones showing through. The head was light, off white foam that reduced to a persistent ring and film, and left some thin ribbons of lacing. The aroma was lightly roasted and cocoa notes. The flavor was similar, with light malt and low hop bitterness. Another CBC sessionable offering.

Brownish amber pour with off white head. Taste was roasted malts and honey. Aroma was mild roast and chocolate syrup. Medium frothy mouth. Overall pretty good for a brown.
