On tap at Atlanta airport. Pours a medium copper color, with small head. Aroma is light caramel and roasted nuts. Flavor is a smooth, mild nutty one, with caramel and toffee. Not bad.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours brown but glowing red when held to the light. The aroma is light must and metal with a backing of nut and caramel. The flavor is a bit weak but displays light caramel, nut, some coffee, and a big touch of metal. The exhale reminds of chocolate. Pretty high carbonation and a medium to light body make it go down nice and easy.

Had this at the airport in Atlanta. Nice brown color with stellar tan head. Smell of chocolate and nut. Taste is rich and appealing. Nice brown. Maybe I should fly into Atlanta again just to have another?

Bottle: Sis brought it from Atlanta. Drank at Doña Foccaccia’s B-Day BBQ. Nice red-brown color with a fruity aroma, hints for fresh red fruit. Taste was decent but nothing out of the ordinary. Went very well with the medium rare steak.

Finally, I found a single of this in Macs on West Peachtree. 12 oz. Anyways, Translucent, brown, carries a thin head. Nice looking brown ale. Slight hop aroma. This was actually a surprise that I wasn’t expecting. Sweet caramel aroma. Not really getting the "nuttiness" that the label speaks of, but I am going to let it warm up and see what happens. Toasty nut aroma finally comes through after a few minutes of warming up. Decent aroma; not terribly pungent. Nice caramel and toasted nut flavor. Not terribly creamy, but a smooth beer. The nutty toasted flavor stands out the most. A pretty good brown ale.

Draft at Sweetwater, Atlanta Airport. Pours a nice copper color, small off-white head. Aroma is mostly malt and notes of roasted nut and bread/biscuit. Flavor is more of the same, malt, biscuit, notes of roasted nut. Finish is dry with very little bitterness. Overall, a very easy to drink Brown Ale.
