on tap-pours a creamy tan head with brown color. Aroma is malty. Taste is malty, nutty.

Draught sample at the Mount Pleasant, SC location. Clear dark maple with no head at all....very faint and sweet nutty, caramelized sugar and vanilla-flecked aroma.....the body is a bit grapy, but mostly its watery, oh so very watery and thin with just a hint of woody hops and maple, but you have to fight to find it.

Draught at Charleston, SC location. Clear dark brown color. Has a metallic hop aroma, but not much else. Slightly sweet with a nutty caramel malt flavor. Finish is somewhat bitter. Not bad.

T-Bonz Charleston, SC location: No aroma to speak of. People can smoke in bars in SC, which affects the enjoyment of the beer. Fizzy. Hint of nuttiness. Watery. Worth a shot.

Draught. Pours mahogany with a beige head. The aroma is spicy esters and toffee. The flavor is smooth caramel, a touch of alcohol, toffee, and some grassy hops. Decent beverage.

Draught. Pours cola brown with a small bubbly head. Slight, nutty, bready aroma. Some pleasing, rich nutty notes, mild biscuitiness make up the flavor which I found to be more assertive and balanced than their other beers I tried. The sweetness is not overbearing at all which is sometimes a problem in these brown ales. It’s a clean, but thin beer. Good for a session drink.

This is a good example of a brown. A normally bland beer type. Dark brown with with orange tinge. Fair head. Nutty aroma with dough. Nuts , toffee, malt, hops in palate. Good.
