Commercial Description:
This is a rich, deep brown ale with a roasty character. It is smooth and malty, full-bodied and somewhat sweet. Editor's Note: This beer is one of Rock Bottom's standards and is available at many of their breweries.

One of the better brown ales. I like Chicago’s version the best. Very smooth.

Dark brown in color (looked a little weak but that was a deception), with an off-white ring for a head. Toasty malted aroma with caramel and a hint of alcohol. Balanced flavor leaning towards the malts with a thorough bitter-sweetness. A little oily on the tongue with a spicy, nutty finish. My favorite at Rock Bottom, similar to Goose Island Hex Nut with a strong, biting finish like a scotch ale.

Very yummy. Dark brown ale with a lighter body that belies its true nature. Rather malty, yet mild enough to drink as a session ale. One of RBottom’s best ales. Think Newcastle and you’re not far off.

At RB Chicago: Dark dirty brown with a nice tan head. Grainy goodness and a bit choco-roasty.

This beer is really nutty! Very easy to drink, and it is warm and smooth. I liked it.
