Nov 1, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle labled as Cottonwood Irish Style Red.
Appearance: Clear amber color with a sizeable, foamy, light tan head. Unfortunately the head doesn’t stick around long.
Aroma: Slightly vegetative nose with notes of vinegar, caramel, and a touch of skunk.
Flavor: Slightly tart and not in a good way, a very small caramel note is present, and there really isn’t anything else. There isn’t anything "Irish" about this.
Palate: Oily on the tongue, highly carbonated and thankfully short in the finish.
Overall: I sincerely hope this one went bad because this beer is terrible. Total drain pour.

Apr 13, 2009 Reddish brown with a small head. Toasted malt brown sugar molasses aroma. Some caramel malt flavor and overall sweetness. Kinda thin, with a sour finish, but surprisingly good with chocolate cake.

Jan 20, 2009 Bottle is labeled irish style red ale. Not really red in the glass, heheheh. More like a clear brownish yellow. Smell is somewhat like cheap mild whisky. Taste comes across as mild whisky with a leathery background. Not bad, decent tingly carbonation. Finish is OK. Cant get over that whisky attribute this stuff has.

Sep 22, 2008 12 oz bottle at CBC brewpub Charlotte airport. Hazy red-brown with a small head that leaves a few spots of soapy lace. Aromas of caramel and cocoa. Flavor is caramel, cocoa, marshmallow and a hint of split wood. Light-medium bodied, watery and just a touch to the dry side.

Jun 29, 2008 Tasted on a recent visit to Woods on South in Charlotte, NC. Pours a an amber red with a thin whitish head. Aroma is faint and just a little bitter -- hard to make out some of the notes but maybe some wheat, bread, malt. Flavor is also a little malty with some slight sweetness as well. Maybe some notes of caramel. Light to medium-bodied with a slightly bitter finish.

Jun 5, 2008 Bottle, thanks ucusty: Pours -- shock -- amber red. Little wispy ring of white head. A bit of skunked caramel aroma and buttery like butterscotch. Flavor is toasted malts, some sweetness... falls a little flat on the palate without any hop crispness.

Jun 4, 2008 Copper pour with an off white head. Funky malts on the nose. Than goodness the flavor is better then the aroma. Sweet caramel, toast, and bread.
