JT Whitneys has nice micro brew pub with nice view of the brewing area and reastaurant and bar. The brew is affordable and have a nice variety of brew types but the brew is mediocre or less for a micro brewering reatuarant, with the exception of very good barley wine, smoked porter, old ale, and gran cru. The food is a bit pricey but good. If this place good up the quality of the brew it could be a red hot destination-- if places like Flossmoor Station can have very good beer than JT Whitney should be able to too.

Faint, slight coffee aroma. Opaque body with a ring of tan. Decent lace. Has hops. Tannins and roasted malt. Strong dark chocolate mouthfeel. Gets better around mid-glass. Actually not bad.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a very deep iced tea brown with a short, splotchy beige head. Chocolate, some fruit, and phenolic notes in the aroma that just didn’t quite mesh right. Medium-roasted chocolate and toffee base to the flavor with some patchy coffee bitterness and a little earth. Medium-bodied and flat across the middle.. definitely could’ve been smoother and more tasty. Toward the end it picked up a nice cocoa presence. Meh.

Deep, dark brown with a hint of red tones. Short yet thick head. Smells of chocolate and toffee. The taste is smooth and subtle. Lingers for a while before fading. Enjoyable. If it is on tap when I visit Whitney’s again, I may give it another try.

Deep, yet still translucent, mahogany with scarlet accents. Short, creamy tan head. Aroma is cocoa powder, Count Chocula cereal, melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and some roasted qualities. Creamier than expected. Semi-sweet chocolate settles in with nicely roasted pecans. Solid and enjoyable.

Brown, no head, overcarbonated, no body, served cold. Some chocolate, but forgettable.

Blackish in color,not as sweet as other porters, tastes like a dry wine,,with a fruit dry aftertaste.

Dark brown with a hint of orange on the edges as held to the light. Small of white head. Dark malt and allspice aroma. Interesting cinnamon, light chocolate and blueberry flavors. Linger of dark chocolate. Somewhat different, but it works for me.
