Sep 9, 2005 Cask!! at Clybourn. This stuff was just fantastic. Deep brown pour with a tall tan head. Perfect lacing as this went down. Aroma was highly roasted and nutty, with an excellent twist of citrus from a nice helping of Cascade hops. I can’t say that I’ve smelled a finer brown! Flavor followed the aroma up perfectly, and added some sweet caramel. Exquisite on the palate! Smooth and coating... without the cola-like consistency often found with the style. Cask conditioning gave it a perfect level of carbonation and temperature. they have it on tap right now at both locations... GET SOME!

Mar 20, 2005 Exotic! On draught at clybourn. Dark ruby in color with a dark brown head. To my suprise the aroma was fruity! Not dark fruit but citrus like juicy fruit. Sweet orange and lemon dominated the aroma. The flavor starts off with sweet orange and lemon, then switches to a hopped middle, with a malty nut finish. When I asked about it I was told it was something the brewmaster had been experimenting with. It is like a mix of and IPA with a nut brown ale. Goose Island IPA meets Goose Island Hex Nut Brown. Strange, but absolutely great.

Oct 18, 2003 I'm not sure I was drinking the same beer these other guys got. Mine was handpump at the Clybourn brewpub. Fairly thick & sweet with hints of licorice and coffee, grassy flavoring hops, and a very good touch of bitterness. Almost like a light imperial stout.

Oct 28, 2003 On tap at the Clybourn pub. Very dark mahogany hue with a creamy, espresso-like head. Nose of roasty grain. Bitter chocolate, coffee and chocolate milk with a burnt toast component. Even with lots of hop bitterness it was very well balanced and enjoyable.
