Got in a bottle courtesy of a friend. Poured like a scotch ale and looked like a cross between a wolf and a malamute.

Brought back to me from Asheville. The head is just a sliver of chocolatey foam, and before i knew it- it was gone. A nice full heavy body, yet smooth and dark brown- almost black. coffee, caramel and wood.

Pours turbid dark brown with 1-finger khaki head. Aroma is scotch malt, spicy cinnamon, mild brown sugar and nuts. Tastes malty, brown sugary, with notes of walnut, dark chocolate, and some spicy yeast, with as medium palate heft.

This has definitely got be be my favorite beer from French Broad, which is not saying very much. Lacks the complexity of some other take on this style, but still very quaffable. Creamy on the palate, slightly thin, but drinkable.

Clear brown color with no head. Malty aroma. Taste of caramel and malts. Average palate. Lacked that special kick in a scotch ale.
