Tap at the Clybourn brewpub. Poured a clear dark Brown with a round off white head. The flavour is medium bitter with a smokey roasted malt palate. A super session beer.

I’m not sure if this is the correct one I should be rating, but enjoyed on tap at Local Option in Chicago, IL while hanging out with a friend on his birthday. Standard, non-descript brew. Appearance dark brown thin white head. Aroma mostly malty with a bit of yeast. Taste crisp and malty. It’s good.

Dark amber red with a creamy off-white head. Sweet fresh biscuity malt, very fruity with pleasant hints of hops. Nice wet mash, nutty and fresh. Some hops develop in mouth, with grassy herbal qualities. Medium bodied. Quite good. 3$ pint at Clybourne location.
