Jul 9, 2007 On tap at GI Clybourn. Transparent brown pour, roasty aroma. Chocolaty flavor. Decent, but I wouldn’t buy a pint of it with some of the other selections available at the brewpub.

Jun 16, 2007 On tap at Clybourn pub in Chicago. A kind of thin porter with nothing really outstanding about it. Didn’t like the mouthfeel-- too watery. And all the gimmicky Cubs references kind of turned me off-- beer is serious!

Jun 7, 2007 Sampler at Clybourn. "Break the curse?" How about not enabling team suckiness? Too damn many Cubbie references in this place. Deep brown color, but the smell and taste are closer to their nut brown than a porter. Lightly roasted coffee with chicory note. Still sits lightly and goes down easily, and that counts for something.

Nov 19, 2006 Tasted at Goose Island Clybourn. Ruby-red/brown with no head. Charred aroma, sweet flavor with oak and low roastiness. A tad thin for a porter.

Jun 24, 2006 On tap at Clybourn. Pours dark with a large off-white head. Almost no aroma to speak of and the flavor is dominated by charred wood with traces of molasses. Alright.

Jun 21, 2006 Poured a deep mahogany/brown and absolutely headless. Hazelnut & toffee aroma with mild alcohol and maple syrup. A little sticky, a little dirty, mostly mid-bodied but a little on the thin side. Flavors find mild chocolate malts with a touch of bitterness to finish while the aftertaste was semi-sweet. I drank it and immediately forgot that RAYBOY was at the pub... so I had another.
