@ Seven Bridges, Tinseltown. :Sniffer: Part of the "let’s cheat and grab a bunch of ratings by doing the $4, sample everything on tap" method...........i thought this was Seven Bridges. Well, no matter. Doesn’t change the fact that this brew is absolute crap. What the hell does a Magnolia tree have to do with this? Well, I wondered. Perhaps because the nose smells like the 2 week old dead flower off one of the trees? Probably. Nothing but brown sugar, molasses, and water. Some grain. But bleh...nasty

Draft at Rock Bottom Charlotte. Pours a light brown color with a small off white head. Nose is sweet and lightly spicy with a nutty note and some caramel. Palate is tingly with a dry finish. Light nuts and caramel malt notes in the flavor.

On tap at the Seven Bridges brewpub. Pours clear mahogany with tan head. The mild aroma has some roast and a note of dark fruity esters. At first the taste is comprised of roasty notes, some mild burnt malts, a dash of dark fruity esters and a thin layer of caramel. It then moves toward additional roasty dryness into the finish. This brew has lots of flavor for a Brown Ale which come together nicely.

On tap at the brewery in Nashville. Very turbid dark brown color. Very sweet, nutty aroma. Taste is on the sweeter side - crystal malts, some chocolate, and nutty overtones. Quite good.
