Hamm's is the an acceptable alternative to Old Style. Old Style is trash, but, as noted, it's quintessential Chicago.
Malort is somewhere between quintessentially and esoterically Chicago. You can find it there and, of course, pretty much only there. But you have to look. As as I'm concerned, Carl Jeppson, under different circumstances, would have been a war criminal, serial killer or worse. There's no other explanation. And, FTR, calling it a digestif doesn't make it taste better. Overall, it's just a stupid, stupid drink...unlike...
...the fermented holy nectar of firm ripe plums.
There's a reason why one elixir reaches no further than several Chicago neighborhoods notorious for buggery, Nicholas Cage idolatry and rife with the pallates of the true masochists, whilst the other embodies an entire noble culture and region of Europe.
It's the preferred liquor of all Balkans, including their madmen. It also has the decided advantage of being free of peat.
Well one civilization looked upwards and gazed upon the supple fruits of the plum tree and elevated their society. The other said "Hey look at this shit I found in the ground. Think we can eat it?"
