Commercial Description:
An American brown ale brewed with loads of hops from start to finish (it’s hoppy and beautifully bitter). Amarillo hops in the boil provide a spicy citrusy bitterness. Saaz dry hops in the fermentor provide a refined flowery aroma. These hops are supported by a grain bill of seven varieties of malt.

Pours a brown ruby/amber with a large foamy off white head that laced. Aroma was floral, mixed citrus, nutty, lgith chocolate, toffee...the hoppy end of a brown ale. Flavors of the same a decent hop bitterness but a bit extreme for the style. Some roasted malts and dark chocolate with some nuts and roastiness that lingers.

12 oz. bottle via trade with njhcnwk - Pours a brown color with a HUGE light tan head. Nice lacing. It took awhile for the head to settle. Aroma is toasted caramel malt. Flavor is roasted malt. Dry palate. Light to medium body. Has a lingering dry, roasted aftertaste. A decent beer. Thanks Brian.

Bottle: Pale cola in color, large frothy sand colored head, patchy lacing.   Dirty roasted malt and gritty earthen nose, slight coffee and lactic notes.   Quite earthy, soily, gritty, and lactic on the tongue.   Raw coffee beans, moderate hop bitterness, a little ash and charred wood.   Not malty enough.   Body and mouthfeel are a little spritzy.   Best by date is this month, so perhaps its on the way down?   I certainly don’t think it should be this lactic and foamy.   This one deserves a re-rate me thinks.   Thanks to Suttree for the bottle!

12 oz bottle 6/30/07: Ruby brown w/a lasting light beige head. Doughy brown sugar malt, light roast & chocolate, and faint herbal hops in the aroma. Well balanced up front, finish is bitter & herbal hop flavored. Chocolate mid palate along w/ some caramel. Light toasty malt, brown sugar w/ a dry finish. Aftertaste is bitter chocolate. Light medium body, medium CO2, dry, almost astringent m/f. Overall a clean American brown... Not an outstanding beer, but a good version of an American brown ale.

Pours a dark brown with copper tones and an enormous foamy light brown-beige head. Aroma of hazelnuts, faint citrus and chocolate. Taste is foamy and slightly suddy with hazelnut and dry chocolate flavors. Average.

Another beer from Suttree. Thank you. Looks to be a dark brown but when it is held up to the light you can see it is a very dark amber color with a medium light tan head. Nice lacing also. Aroma is chocolate, malt, hops. Quite earthy. Flavor is bitter hops, pine, nutty, sourish malts. Thanks again Phil.

This is a very nice brown. Medium body with a good hop following. This is another example of a fine Carolina brew.
