Another winner from Goose Island. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a tan head that leaves decent lacing. The sweet aroma has notes of chocolate, caramel, and tobacco. The mouthfeel is good with high carbonation. The sweetness of the aroma transfers well to the taste. Definite tobacco, honey, and chocolate give way to a dry finish. An interesting and delicious brew.

Oct 1, 2008 No complaints. Yet another solid brew from the Goose, my Honkeybra’s favorite brewery. Standard brown ale, but not bad by any means. Lotsa nuts, some tobacco, and a hoppy dry finish.
