Commercial Description:
A delicious brown ale with a deep chesnut color. Low hop rate and light carbonation make this brew a smooth and creamy number with a rich, malty-sweet finish. Look closely for the touch of roastedness in the background.

I had this on tap at the brewpub in TN but didn’t take tasting notes beyond the numbers, unfortunately. I was there with my fiancee and she gets bored with my details. This was my favorite of their offerings.

Bottle thanks to Steph’s Parents. Clear ruby copper with small, fizzy head. Aroma is stinky nuts and light sweet roast. Flavor is sweeter nuttiness, sweeter dough and light mollases. Medium to light body with active/fizzy carbonation. A pretty straight forward brown ale.

On tap 05/04/09 @ the brewery in Gatlinburg: Pours a deep brown color with a thin off-white head leaving nice lacing. Roasty, rich malty aroma and flavor has hints of caramel leaving a sweet dry finish. I actually enjoyed it compared to the other ratings.

Received a 12-oz bottle from lithy via trade. Pours a semi-clear brownish amber colored brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind a thin ring and spotty lacing. Aroma of roasted dark malt, roasted nuts, a touch of floral hops and some tea. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of rosted nuts, roasted barley, floral hops and a touch of toffee. Finish has a nice malty and floral hop aftertaste.

On draft at Calhoun’s with Suttree. Clear amber pour. Sweet, old nuttiness, and vegetal. Not all that impressed with this one.

Thanks Lithy! Clear mousey brown, dry malt aroma, bit of molasses. More like an amber to me, I’m used to a bit more body or malt in a brown. That aside, this is still fairly sweet, smooth, and tasty. Milky creamy finish.
