Cornfield (4343), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Oct 1, 2006 This is a decent brown ale. It pours a deep chestnut color with a good-lacing ecru head. The aroma is a lightly roasted malt with some crushed nuts and a bit of milk chocolate. The flavor is a smoothly sweet roasted malt with some nutty bitterness... and then the chocolate sneaks up and delivers a hard kick in the finish. A good sessionable ale. On tap at the Natty Greene’s Pub & Brewing Company, Greensboro, NC.
