Aug 22, 2007 Draught at Coppar Cellar - Knoxville. The look is a clear orangy red and had no head at all. Relatively weak malt aroma but in the taste a good sweet caramel tang mixes with a malt touch that seems to have just the right balance going on. I rate the tuchaleechee porter higher for sophistication but I would order the black bear first every time for refreshment.

Jul 30, 2007 Pours a semi clear orange amber with a small white head. Weak aroma of malts, fruit and nuts. Taste is smooth with low carbonation and hints of fruity malts and nuts. Nothing to get excited about.

Jul 10, 2007 The Dan Journal #66. Tasted 1/9/2007. 12oz bottle. Filtered with an amber hue. Minimal head. No aromas to speak of. Smooth and maple sweet. Simple and unoffensive. Meh.

Jun 29, 2007 Pours out a clear brown color with a small head. Aroma is malty. Flavor is a little sweet with a malt note to the finish. This is one of the lightest brown ales i have ever seen.

Mar 21, 2007 Bottle and draft - Calhoun’s restaurants. They are usually out of this brownish beer with a slight head on draft, and draft is slightly better than the bottle. Aroma is slight malt. Taste is similar, but typically hit or miss; about half the batches are good; half are so-so.

Dec 11, 2006 I didn’t really read the description when I purchased this at their location in Gatlinburg, so got something different than I was expecting. Thought it would be a stout by the name, but turned out to be a very drinkable brown ale. Thought it was well-balanced and had a nice malty touch to it.

Dec 6, 2006 Plain, husky, slightly sweet aroma. Vigorous pour yields zero head. Yuck. Totally off, corny stale flavor. Syrupy. Sucks.
