On tap at Sweetwater Terminal 4 Atlanta during a layover. Pours a nice brown color with a small white head. Aroma is caramel, malt and some hops. Flavor is caramel, sugar, malt, and a healthy dose of hops. Finishes with more hop bitterness than most brown ales ive had which is a good thing in my book. NIce brown ale.

At the airport in Atlanta. Pours a clear brown color with very little head. Some light molasses and a hint of chocolate in the aroma. Flavor is very plain. Sweet nutty water with a dose of chocolate. Eh.

12 oz bottle thanks to unclemattie. Pours a clear brown, nearly purple color with a small white head. The aroma is nutty with some rich fruity malts. The flavor is smooth and easy; rich fruity malts, loads of nutty flavors, light chocolates. Very nice. Would be a perfect beer for a winter or fall evening.

12 oz bottle. Slight nutty and toasty aroma with a touch of dark fruit. Mostly clear light mahogany brown with small tan head. Very pleasant tealike hop notes in the front with some toasty nutty qualities and dark sugar. Finish is mostly dry with some dark sugar and light bitterness. Very tasty.

Draught. Clear warm brown hue with thick off-white head, lacing. Sweet grainy aroma. Sweet nutty body with clean finish and some scotch-like whiskey notes too. Nice nutty flavors and a gentle clean finish.
