Tap at Local Option. The beer comes to me with a hazy, dim, dull yellow color and a small head. Aroma is strong on coriander and light lactic touches. Favor is great with coriander and good lactic flavor that ends in some light tart touches. I would like it to be just a little more sharp and crisp but otherwise great. Salt perception is very variable but I (high tolerance) and my lady (low tolerance) thought the salt character was mild. These guys make beer for me, everything fits my tastes.

Draft. Notes of citrus, sweet bread and floral hops. Pretty darn good beer. Wish it was in bottles...or more available around me.

On tap. Pours dark brown with a vague reddish hue and a small beige head. Very sweet vanillaish Bourbon in the nose. Medium body, starts slightly sweet and syrupy but quickly turns distinctly tart - as in tart berries. Some yeast and biscuit notes. Quite different - an acquired taste I believe. 121212

Draft. A dark nut-brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, bourbon, wood, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with alcohol, oxidation, caramel, malt, bourbon, and wood, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.

Tap at brewery. Fresh roasted coffee, and a little bit of smoky oak. Aroma reminds me of walking into a coffee serving bookstore. Hazy amber with a small white head. Sweet caramel malt, earthy smooth coffee - like a smooth Sumatran coffee, and light oak flavor. Medium body and carbonation.

Super hazy deep apricot coloured body with a copper and amber glow and a thin, fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of metal, alcohol, apricots, fruit, pungent hops and a bit of medicine. Medium-bodied; Assertive nutty flavour at first with a medicinal feel and a malty, yet almost caramel and toffee sweetness going right through. Aftertaste is nice and robust with some lighter alpha acid hops, some mild yeast notes and a bit of good malt as well. Overall, an interesting beer and definitely worth trying to find - for the style and for the legend of a bar it represents in Chicago. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Binny’s in Chicago (Lincoln Park), Illinois on 04-December-2011 for US$6.66 (love it) sampled at home in Washington on 10-September-2012.

Sample at Local Option. Pours a clear golden color with a medium fizzy white head that evaporates steadily. Short stringy lacing. Aroma of herbal hops and malt. Light body with flavors of mildly bitter hops, toffee and fruit. The finish is lightly hoppy with an herbal aftertaste. Decent overall.
