12 oz bottle thanks to Hot lanta local. Solid, drinkable, smooth, sessionable, though not very much character. Fine brew though.

Bottle on 11/28/2008 in the Great Butters Tasting of 2008. Somewhat hazy deep brown body with ruby highlights. Big nutty and malty aroma, some light chocolate and caramel. Big malt flavor, more faint chocolate and nuttiness with some bready and toasty notes. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Pours a dark amber. Nose of malt, caramel and nuts. Flavor of the same with some dryness. Thin and soft mouthfeel. Not too bad.

TN tasting at maniac’s. Pours a good clear reddish brown with thin white head. Sweet malty aroma. Very nutty flavor is suprisingly nice. Vegetal a little. Little bitter finish. Enjoyable.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium brown color with a medium sized tan head. The aroma was sweet chocolate with a touch of roasty malts and coffee. The flavor was sweetish roasty and toasty malts with a lightly bitter undertone and a hint of floral hops. Medium bodied and it turns a bit dry towards the finish. Well done.

On tap in Great Waters - Reynolds Plantation. Clear brown/red body with a small off white head. Caramel and roasted malt in the nose. Generally sweet with notes of roasted malt and caramel. Nice beer!

Brown pour, cream head. Malt, nut, molasses aromas. Surprisingly roasty, some brown sugar. Not much bitterness. Finish clean. This was a solid brown ale. Certainly the best brew offered at the sports bar I was at, which aside from the Guiness, this was the only non macro.

Draft sample at KBJ08. Poured clear brown color with medium off-white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Medium toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Soft drinkable brew.
