Cask pull at the Goose Island brewpub in Chicago. Nice off white head with a reddish brown body. Not too hoppy and a touch of roasty malt. I would have this again.

[cask at Clybourn brewpub] Hazy brownish red color. Nicely topped with a foamy tan head. Malty, slightly sweet aroma. Very subtle smoke character. Malt-focused flavors with a mellow, earthy bitterness. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel.

Draft at Clybourn brewpub. Poured clear brown color with an average off-white creamy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate earthy tart citrus aroma. Medium body with light carbonation. Medium earthy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

On tap at GI. Served in a pint glass, brown body with very thin white head. It has a nice flavor of caramel and smoky notes really come through in this beer. I thought it was very good.
