Dec 21, 2006 On tap at Clybourne. Not much in the way of aroma. Flavor is really buttery tasting. almost exactly like popcorn. Somewhat limp texture. Overall very lower-upper-middle-class.

Dec 16, 2006 Draught at the Wrigleyville location. Clear red-brown color with orange highlights. Head was thin and off white in color. Smelled of dried cherry and light sprucy hops. Fruity and slightly sweet up front. Dry with a subdued malty brown sugar flavor in the middle and grassy hops at the end.

Apr 11, 2006 Had in October while visiting their brewpub. Dark brown and cloudy. Head which was too thin. Almost tiny in flavor. Not bad, but not great. No one would really care about it one way or another.

Dec 25, 2005 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.

Nov 21, 2005 Clybourn. Translucent and glowing bronze with a 1/3" creamy, milky tan head and A+ lacking. Traditional, modest aroma of whole wheat bread, copper kettles, caramel and ginger. Mild Heath flavored frozen custard comes to fruition. Some unrefined cocoa powder in the profile. Brass/kettle resonance that adds an interesting twang dimension, but never sears or borders astringency. Toned carbonation, sliding emphasis to the chocolate confectionary powder sprinkled over mild hazelnut scones. Slight earthy hop dynamics and an ever present autumn sense.

Nov 20, 2005 Copper bodied with a short-lived head, this has a malty aroma, lightly roasted, with a trace of apple skins. The flavor is a nice blending of a rich, caramel and toffee maltiness with a herbal bitterness. The finish is long and dry. A decent enough altbier. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Island Beer Company - Clybourn, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

Nov 3, 2005 On tap at Clybourne. A medium amber in color with a thin head. Plenty of malts in the aroma. Has a slightly sweet taste with a bitter finish. My only problem with this beer was a funky vegetal aftertaste.

May 5, 2005 Draft: Golden brown. Dense, slightly-rocky ivory head. Restrained aroma of minerals, roasted nuts and wood. Toffee and vanilla whispers. Thin body with sharply-chalky pinpricks of carbonation. Failry straightforward and easygoing with a frontal display of nuts and roasted grains. Coarse mineral underlay exaggerates the rounded fruity acidity. Toffee-coated nut richness wanes as leafy hops and dry/chalky malts seal the finish. Decent rendition, but rather predictable and poorly assembled.
