On tap at Rock Bottom in Atlanta. Poured a deep mahogany color with a small tan head. Aroma of caramel, sweet malt and nuts. Flavor was nutty with a bready malt note, along with a hint of hops at the end. Medium body with mild carbonation.

Draught at the Charlotte Rock Bottom. Light brownish red with a creamy light tan head that laces nicely. Nutty brown and slightly hoppy aroma. Flavor is largely dry malty with little hint of hops, not very sweet. Medium bodied with a creamy consistency. Finish is roast dryness.

On tap at Seven Bridges brewpub in Jacksonville, FL. Arrived at the table a very nice deep reddsih brown with a thin-moderate light brown head. Mild aroma of chocolate and malt, which also comes through in the flavor. A little over-carbonated for me, but otherwise a decent brown ale.

ON tap at Rock Bottom ATL; sort of lucked into my first rating from Tennessee, although its not my first beer from the state. Color ws dark brown, with not much head. Aroma was very light with some choolate, nuts, must and chalk. Flavor was actually pretty good and pronounced for the style; especially the roasted elements. Also some nice nuts and chocolate present.

Draft at Downtown Chattanooga location About as standard a brewpub brown as you can get. Nice typical malt character, with nutty aroma and sweet toffee finish.

Tasted on a recent visit to Rock Bottom in Charlotte, NC. Pours a dark brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma is malty, hints of grain, bread, grass and sweetness -- caramel or toffee. Aroma might be better than the flavor. Medium--bodied with slight notes of bread, grain, and malt with a strange, slightly bitter finish.
