Oct 18, 2005 On tap. Odd beer. Very sweet in both flavor and aroma. The aroma was strong enough to make me think I was going to drink a waffle. Bizarre brown sugar and maple flavor. Not bad, but I couldn’t see myself drinking an entire pint. My girlfriend, who is more oriented toward sweet beers, loved it. Recommended for the experience alone.

Oct 17, 2005 I really enjoyed this beer. It has quite a bite, but changed to a sweet/warm alcohol taste as it warmed. The color is a very viscous brown with very little in the way of head.

Oct 12, 2005 Updated: Jan 25, 2006On tap. Pours cloudy brown with almost no head; caught me off-guard for a brown ale. Toasted malts and buttery biscuit flavors dominate, with a fair amount of sweetness, especially in the finish. Flavors are solid and round overall, and mouthfeel is smooth and lightly sticky, with low carbonation. Different for a brown ale, recommended for bitter fans - reminded me of a toasted ESB.

Sep 25, 2005 Draught. Pours a semi-transparent brown with a thin head. The aroma is malt, some yeast, and butterscotch. The flavor is solid with malts and a touch of butterscotch with a somewhat roasty finish. Good, but I don’t think I would drink it for leisure.

Aug 24, 2005 Updated: Aug 3, 2006This is one of the old standby brews here in East TN. Tried it out again today for the first time in quite a while. I am not a fan of brown ales, so it’s certainly not one of the first things I would go for while at a bar, but this one is robust enough to hold my interest. It pours a few shades darker than many of its peers and of course packs that sweet, nutty taste found in typical examples of the style. However, the chocolate and coffee notes are a bit more pronounced here and it is just a few steps shy of being a stout. My single complaint is that the thick, cotton-candy sweetness starts to get too sticky towards the end of the glass.

Aug 4, 2005 Love this stuff. Not too hoppy at all, and with a taste similar to a Scotch Ale, but without the overpowering sweet finish. Highly recommended.

Jul 6, 2005 Dark brown - good strong barley smell. Almost no head. Cute label. No aftertaste. Smooth going down.

Jul 5, 2005 Black color! Looks supergreat! Big malty aroma. Sweet and oakey with a somewhat bready dimension to it.
