Jul 7, 2009 This was the best beer CAlly’s had. I was shocked when my girlfriend agreed. A nice nutty flavor with some chocolate flavors as well. Not amazingly complex but a great balance of nuts and chocolate, whats not to love with that combination?

Jul 2, 2009 On tap at the brewpub. Deep black pour with a thin layer of tan head. Nose was nutty with roasted notes. Flavor was full of chocolate and rye. Hops add some zing and bitterness. A nice brown ale aided by that brewpub freshness.

Oct 15, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. Decent effort from Erik and the brewers. Dark brown pour with a fleeting head. Slow and soft carbonation is a slight dissapointment, the malt here is strikingly sweet and kind of boring. A bit thin and lacking in flavor, but nothing offensive.
tronraner (1906), Maryville, Tennessee, USA
Oct 1, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. Pours deep reddish mahogany with small tight beige head. The aroma is chocolate, raisin, pistacchio, some green bark. Flavor is creamy with chocolate at first, then some more nut husk tones. The finish is quick and smooth. No depth, but ok.

Aug 28, 2005 Draft at the brewpub. Very dark brown, almost black, with a brown head. Well balanced nose of roasted aromas and medium malt sweetness. Flavor is very malt focused with a rounded and balanced roastiness and just a touch of bitterness. Some coffee and bitter chocolate in the finish. Medium body, very smooth and creamy mouthfeel. This is one I’ve had a lot from Calhoun’s, and this batch is impressively good.
