Apr 10, 2007 Despite the reported 6.9% ABV, this comes across as a watered down example of the style. It’s got a cloudy reddish brown body with a dincus white head. The light aroma smelled of toasted biscuits, caramel, and a soft earthy bitterness. Sweet but balanced, the flavor is pretty mild - some caramel and bitter nuts. Drinkable. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=16> Goose Island - Clybourn, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

Apr 9, 2007 On tap at GI Clybourn. Poured a slightly-hazy deeper brown with a short-lived cap of beige head. Aroma was sweet with very lightly smoked caramel and darker sugars.. very nice woodsy and herbal accents. Flavor was a tiny bit thicker with the smokiness with an enjoyable caramel base.. some chocolate emerges too... candy-like sugars, light herbal bitterness, and some sharper alcohol notes as it approaches the finish. The sharper notes detracted a tad on the palate.. medium-bodied with a quiet, accenting bitterness. Another tasty one from GI!
