Jul 22, 2007 On tap at the Mickey Finn Brew Pub. Poured a medium and cloudy brown color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, chocolate, and light caramel. Tastes of lighter chocolate, caramel, toasted malts, and I swear I was getting some citrus in there too.

May 29, 2006 3.1 15 (04.14.06) On tap at Mickey Finn’s, Libertyville, IL. Poured opaque dark brown with large off-white head. No discernable carbonation. Sweet malt and licorice in the nose. Medium bodied that starts with light malt sweetness and coffee/chocolate flavor. Finished dry with light malt fade. No discernable hop presence. A good drinkable malty English-style brown ale. Mickey Finn’s beer board referred to the ballpark ale as a brown ale. The bartender also confirmed that this beer is a brown ale.

May 2, 2006 Presumably whoever entered this brew had something to do with it, since he/she didn’t rate it. Which leaves me puzzled as to why it’s listed as a brown ale, since the description refers to it as a mild. The bartender at the brewpub didn’t know either way. It is a decent mild, pouring a deep brown with a tan head that laces nicely. The aroma is toasty malts and chocolate. Nice and smooth. It tastes of lightly roasted malt with the chocolate becoming more pronounced. And as with a good mild ale, the earthy hops are barely present. Nice mild, but a mediocre brown. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=3241> Mickey Finn’s Brewery, Libertyville, IL<font size=-1>
