Draft, Downers Grove. Dark brown color, but with bright highlights, no haze. Stable, brown egg-shell foam for head. Smells nutty, with some honey and roastiness. First taste shows kind of a runny mouthfeel, standard for the Emmett’s house style. Beyond that is a nicely balanced session beer. Impressions of roasted porter malt on top of nuts and honey. A slightly earthy British hop note in balance. As usual for Emmett’s a sturdily built beer that runs within the borders, not to extremes.
