 Elwood (654), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
Nov 7, 2009 Serving: 12 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Clear brown color with a foamy, off-white head. Okay head retention but not much in the way of lacing.
Aroma: Light nose with notes of nuts, a bit of chocolate, and bread.
Flavor: A bit on the watery side with notes of nuts, malt sweetness, a bit of caramel, chocolate, and some bread.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a medium-short, sweet finish.
Overall: Very middle of the road for a brown ale. Nothing spectacular here by any means.

Nov 3, 2009 Draft in Charlotte. Pours a healthy nutty brown color with a foamy off white head. Nose is syrupy and sugary with a nutty base and light caramel malt note. Palate is full and fluffy. Flavors of the nuts and caramel with a light bready note.

Jul 30, 2009 Bottle: (An infected one) Pours a deep ruby brown with a khaki film of head. Tart and nutty aroma- some aceto seems to have accumulated over a dark crystal malt and toasted nutty suggestion. Light body. Infected flavor- some soft aceto bacteria covers up, what seemed like a decent nutty and toasted crystal malt body. I need to sample one that’s not infected, this was almost a borderline, sub par Flemish Red.

does not count  Jun 30, 2009 I had this at a restaurant. It is easily one of my favorite beers - granted I’m no beer expert and haven’t tried too many yet. Very smooth.
