Grabbed this growler for drinking during the Broncos/Texans game
A- Pours a medium amber with a nice amount of head for a growlered beer, about 1.5 inches in my Kuhnhenn's tulip
S- Tons of roast malts and a tiny amount of bitter hops. Beyond the malt there isn't too much going on but its a nice scent
T- Really good chocolate front with a roast middle and mild ending. Would certainly pair well with some milk chocolate
M- This is the facet of the beer that reminds me its a brown ale and not a porter or stout. Really thin and bubbly
O- I'd love these flavors to show up in a stout. Overall I liked it and am glad to have the whole growler

Cask offering at GI Clybourn. Served in a mini-pint.
A: Pours a purplish brown with a nice light brown head.
S: Coffee, pleasant roasted grain, chocolate.
T: Smooth roasted grain, milk chocolate, ground coffee, whole wheat bread. Very creamy and chocolaty, very little bitterness. Bit of a crisp hop bite.
M: Slight carbonation, very creamy.
O: Really nice brown ale, although it lacks the slight fruity crispness of some of the traditional English browns.

Served in an imperial pint glass at the Clybourn brewpub.
My final brew of the afternoon. It pours a clear mahogany (the menu definitely had it right on this count) topped by a finger of dusty khaki foam. The nose comprises light roasted malts, mild cocoa powder, toffee, walnut, and very light maple syrup. The taste brings in more of the same, with the roast, the cocoa, and the syrup coming on a bit stronger than before. The body is a light medium, with a light carbonation and a smooth feel. Overall, a very nice little brown ale, a pleasure from the hand engine.
