Tap Chicago: If it wasn’t for the head, you would almost mistake this for a stout due to its dark brown appearance. There were many levels of flavors, first sweet malts, then pine hoppiness, followed by slightly bitter finish leaving you with a caramel and coffee aftertaste.

Draught during my Great Lakes region brew tour. Dark chocolatey brown pour with a light tan head. Roasty aroma with faint pine hops. Near-porter feel overall. There is a good level of coffee in the mouth accompanied by chocolate. This is slightly nutty. Okay for a brown ale.

Bethesda Locale: I was pleasently suprised by this beer. A nice malt characteristic which had notes of nuts, brown sugar, earthy, chocolate/coffee. Quite good.

At Bethesda location. A hazy brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet and nutty, while the flavor is sweet nutty combined with hints of oranges, leading to a dry slightly bitter end. An OK flavor for a Brown Ale.

Draft... Bethesda location... Deep amber ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Light milk chocolate and vanilla in the nose. Well balanced flavor. A touch citric and fairly bitter. Cocoa. Medium-bodied with a scathing mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Coarse, dry finish.
