rinkybrink (4), naperville, Illinois, USA does not count Nov 11, 2006 Always my favorite at Rock Bottom, although not as good as a few years back. The aroma and flavor are more subtle than before which takes away some of the fun DrnkMcDermott (1597), Downers Grove, Illinois, USA Dec 12, 2007 <i>Draft sampler.</i> The chalkboard at the establishment says this has a 5.2% abv. Dark brown color with a light head. There’s some niceness to the aroma, but it was hard to pick it out in this bar. BIG nuttiness up front: wal- and hazel-nut with a bit of toffee malt and some roastiness. Backed by a dry finish. drewbeerme (1895), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 4, 2008 draft. pours hazy brown with off white head. nose is toasty, nutty, cookie. flavors of roast, cookie, chocolate. pretty flavorful brown. chicagodri (634), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 5, 2008 Not a bad brown. Pours dark brown with a thin head. Sweet smell of chocolate. Well balanced, maybe a little thin, but still pretty solid. toddbates (95), USA Jan 10, 2008 my second favorite at the pub and my favorite of their staple beers. thin head with an earthy brown color. roasty and toasty but not as heavy as you would expect a beer of this depth of color.
