Much like voting in Chicago, this dark session beer also encourages more than one in a visit. At 4.2% with a medium body and rich flavors from the dark specialty malts, you might even be happier with this brew than with your last vote.

Draft: Poured a clear black color ale with a nice foamy head. Aroma of roasted malt with light green hoppy notes is pleasant. Taste is a nice mix of roasted malt with light green hoppy notes but unfortunately finish is a bit thin. Body is a bit thin with good carbonation. Not bad but not great either.

Taste: Toasted malts mix with some smokey smooth notes with a slight hop in the clean and very drinkable finish. Black/Brown, mostly opaque with a delicate lace around the glass. Medium body or maybe a bit lite.
