Commercial Description:
This rich, deep American Brown Ale is brewed with roasted wheat, oats, biscuit and chocolate malts to combine a subtle roasted character with hints of chocolate. Surprisingly light-bodied, this brown ale utilizes Chinook and Willamette hops for a well-balanced and drinkable brew.

Note: This is brewmaster Pete Crowley's recipe. Rock Bottom does not have "corporate recipes."

Pour is opaque ruby brown with a thin tan head...roasty rich nose and very biscuity...mouthfeel was thin and watery...no real character otherwise in the flavor...just sweetness...

On tap at the brewery. Dark brown with medium beige head. Aroma is a lot of nuttiness with dark roasted sugar and chocolate. Flavor is also very nutty with chocolate, some bitterness. Medium to thin body and well carbonated. Okay but a bit plain.

Draught at the brewpub
Black color. Roasted malt aroma. Light body, but smooth texture, with roasted malt flavor overall, and chocolate and ashes too. Good bitterness level. Too much roasted malt in the final. Not my beer, but good.

On tap at R.B. Chicago. Poured a medium brown with a well-retained dusting of beige head. Rather dry aroma with caramel, brown sugar, and chocolate maltage. Nutty flavors with a chocolate & biscuity malt base, floral hoppage around the edges.. and sweet overall.. but didn’t do it for me. Cola-like mouthfeel with alcohol/bright hop highlights around the edges... smooth across the middle. Decent.

From the tap is pours a deep brown and is capped by a bubbly tan head. The aroma holds sweet roasted malts, chocolate, and a a light nuttiness. It’s a bit thin, but the malty sweetness is tasty and the nuts balance the drink out. Sessionable.
