From bottle thanks to JoeMchpee. Malt, hop aroma. Great amber colour with a decent lace clinging to the glass. Nutty flavour. Nice bitterness. Flavour of chestnuts, with a silky texture. Rich fruity after taste. Enjoyed this beer a lot.

This is an overall very good ale. Speakeasy is a good brewery to visit in San Francisco. On Fridays one can get a free tour, free popcorn, and $3 (excellent) pints! Prohibition ale pours amber and delivers flavors of caramel, bread, and citrus. It’s toasted, light and satisfying. Overall a very nice ale. Be sure to check out the Big Daddy and the Double Daddy IPAs.

12 oz. Clear, darkish amber with a lasting quarter inch of sticky-creamy foam. Creamy caramel, earthy grain, peanut, resin and grapefruit aromas. Flavors of tea leaf and caramel, finished with a deep toasted pecan, citrus and light cocoa. Medium body is soft and smooth.
