Nitro at craft ale house. Pours hazy dark brown with a small white head. The aroma Is light with roast notes, light coffee, light cocoa. The taste is very roasty, coffee grind, dry finish.

Draft at Smiling Chameleon. Pours dark brown with an inch of khaki foam which doesn’t leave any lacing. A bit of chocolate on the nose but otherwise faint. A hint of maltiness on the tongue. Finishes clean. Not really feeling this one.

Tap at Capone’s. Poured burnt umber with tan head. Nose was rich roasty malty, with cacao, mild coffee, hops. Tasted roasty dark malty, patent and choc perhaps, with a huge late hop and roasty cacao nose. This one is very well made and unique.

On tap at Capone’s. Poured an amberish color with a small sized off white head. Some roast, grains, and some chocolate.

Draft at Capone’s. Pours a nice dark brown with lots of head. Aroma is nutty coffee. Flavor is substantial, lots of coffee notes, slight chocolate. Very tastey.

Certainly the most interesting beer the carry! A style that is apparently a traditional one that has fallen out of style. Dark color, but still faintly brown and transparent. Still has a creamy mouthfeel despite a thinner body.

Brown with a beige head. Aroma is biscuit, malt, cocoa. Medium bodied. Flavor is boring. Similar to the aroma with plenty of that biscuit. Not really doing it for me. Need to smooth out that biscuit and add a touch of roast.

Pours deep amber with a medium lt tan head...nice lacing. Aroma has light chocolate, mild roastiness, and a bit of nuttiness. Flavor follows suit and adds a nice touch of bitter hoppiness that cuts through the sweetness nicely. Mouthfeel is medium/full and lively with a nutty earthy/bitter finish. Decent brown ale.
