Jul 4, 2005 Moderately sweet with light hints of roast, hints of almond and bits of toffee. This brown is farily clear with some red color, medium head and some lacing. finish was dry with a little bit of sourness. Average brown. (obx_2005)

Jun 29, 2005 Updated: Jul 11, 2005Bottle...Nice label and looking beer but the taste was rather dark. Alot of chocolate taste and overall too heavy to be an ale almost a stoudt.

May 25, 2005 $1.49 for a 12-oz single. Brown, no head. Just a ring of froth. Smells coppery, slightly malty. Plain. Flavor is overall plain, with hints of chocolate, molassas, and toast. Nothing special.

May 20, 2005 Thin dense head with light carbonation. Medley of smells in the aroma. Dog biscuits, soy sauce, roasted grains and a touch of molasses. Color is a nice brownish red. Flavor is crisp and bitter and yet roasty at the same time. More roasted grains, salty soy sauce and a bit chalky. Flavor ends abruptly and leaves a dry bitter aftertaste but not altogether positive. An ok brown ale.

May 6, 2005 Looks like Coke when poured. When held up to light it takes on a deep red ruby color. Head pours thick, but dissipates quickly. Aroma is like chocolate and caramel malts, and also like dark roasted coffee. Taste is a syrupy chocolate with coffee taste on the finish. Hop strength is very mild in this brew. It goes down rather sweet and very smooth. Leaves nice aftertaste. This is a really good brown ale. Move over Newcastle. Another great Cottonwood product. Try their IPA!

Apr 25, 2005 Bottle. Burnt sienna/ruby pour with malt and caramel in the aroma. The taste is caramel malty, with some toffee and cabernet elements in the finish.

Mar 3, 2005 Deep brown with reddish tints under a tan head with tiny bubbles. Head’s lasting fairly well. Smell is of malt, somewhat roasty, very dry. Flavor is a malty beer, with a roasted finish. The coffee notes in the flavor don’t seem to fit well with the sweet malt that’s dominant. The roast in the finish lingers far longer than I expected. Tasty beer, but nothing spectacular.

Feb 24, 2005 Updated: Dec 30, 2006Dark reddish brown, almost no head. Vague aroma but fairly robust roasty and very sweet malt. But thin bodied. Did I say sweet!?
