Jan 10, 2005 Nashville. No aroma. Dark amber in color with excellent lace. Flavor is ESB-like. I really like this. Caramel notes and fairly high alcohol profile.

Feb 15, 2008 Sweet, very fruity baked tart aroma. Dark, but clear, brown. Excellent mouthfeel, a bit chalky somehow. Medium-heavy body. Well-bittered. Not as sweet as it smells. Tangy at times, a little roast, a good balance. Finish is peaty.

Nov 6, 2006 Memphis. This beer was great with breakfast ribeye. Hints of a peppery aroma. Sweetness worked well with red meat.

Aug 4, 2009 On tap at the brewery in Memphis. Sweet, very fruity tart aroma. Dark, but clear, brown. Excellent mouthfeel. Medium-heavy body. Well-bittered. Sweet and maybe a little too sweet. Tangy at times, a little roast, a good balance. Finish is nice. By far the best beer that I drank there.

Dec 21, 2007 (Tap) Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma of caramel and biscuit. Taste includes dark malts and grainy notes. Roasted nut and toffee in here as well. Above average palate and average carbonation. Light hop finish. A very good beer!

Nov 21, 2008 Draught in downtown Memphis. Brown pour with a thin tan head. Aroma of caramel and faint roasted overtones. Taste of caramel and brown sugar, really sweet and sticky at first but finishes with a nice bitter smokey aftertaste.

Jan 25, 2009 On tap at the Nashville location. Poured a clear dark amber with red highlights, and a one finger tan head. The aroma was pretty much all malt. Caramel and toffee and a little bit of toast. The flavor was grainy with some caramel and an earthy finish. This was a pretty decent beer. The mouthfeel was a little thick and sticky, but the carbonation and body were spot on.

Feb 20, 2008 On tap, Nashville brewpub. Pours a murky ruby with meager soapy head comprised of mother-of-pearl bubbles. Smells like Rodenbach cherry and peat, overall sweet and syrupy (the cherry notes also remind me of Rose’s grenadine). This has a nice malt profile for the style: malty, smoky and a piquant bitter spice are the first impressions. It’s not rich and emersive, more cold, distant and hard. Reminds me of heather over granite: the smokiness and sugars with a light cherry fruit are distinct from a hardness typified by somewhat-metallic hops bitter and the peat in the finish. They seem to go together, but the one is not attached to the other. There is some mealy off flavor in the back on the finish which detracts a bit.
