Description
Our beer is and will always be clean and consistent with a strong focus on balance. We feel our four flagship offerings best represent Pollyanna and take pride in their year-round availability (we package everything in cans and bottles). We're constantly experimenting with local fruits and spices, seasonal lagers, barrel-aging, wild yeast, and bacteria. In our intimate and truly unique taprooms, we offer tasting flights, draft pours, and to-go 64oz growlers, 32oz howlers, or 32oz crowler cans. Our Lemont location offers a scenic look at the brewery, our Roselle location offers a wide array of wood barrels, Italian Foudres, and a smaller brewhouse for unique one-off offerings, and our St Charles location offers our largest taproom and a beautiful view of the Fox River. Keep an eye out for a constant rotation of special firkins and taproom only offerings at each location.

Can shared by Adam, thanks! Pours black with a deep brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is full of toasted marshmallow and bourbon with a bit of sweet dark grains and caramel backing. Flavor combines dark grains and roasted marshmallow with a bit of bourbon and bitter chocolate supporting.

Draft at the new Orange & Brew store and tap in Downers Grove. Big rich chocolate cookie smell even in my 5 oz. glass. Rich malty nose, and a decent froth of brown head. The taste seems quite strong for a beer that's mostly normal in abv. Malts are very rich and smooth, with no roastiness. I mostly pick up the chocolate and vanilla, s they are the strongest components. Gret example of a pastry stout.
