On Tap - Carolina Beer Co. Brewpub - Charlotte Airport. Medium copper pour, tight khaki colored head. Neutral aroma - hints of fresh lake water. Flavor has some caramel notes, some topsoil, a bit of bitter chocolate. Decently thick mouthfeel. Not bad at all - hit the spot after a long day of travel. First online rating of a beer in a brewpub while I am actually drinking it.

Your basic brown. Slight roasted nuttiness. Balanced malt and hops. Could have more of both, but very drinkable. You could do worse.

Plum and dark fruit notes. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Finish is dry with some residual bitterness and astringency.

Tasted on a recent visit to Woods on South in Charlotte, NC. Pours a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is faint, maybe some notes of ripe fruit and barley. Flavor is somewhat malty, maybe some hints of chocolate. Medium-bodied with slight bitterness on finish.
