ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Nov 4, 2009 Bottled during the 4th week of August.
Appearance: Pours out a near clear, humble-looking, dark brown body with a thin, ivory-hued head.
Smell: Nutty, earthy maltiness in the aroma with notes of cocoa and ripened fruits, as well as some spicy hop accents.
Taste: The expected brown maltiness with its nuttiness, bread crust hints, and taste of mild cocoa powder. Fairly fruity throughout. Mild hop character with just a bit of spiciness and low level bitterness for balance. Further earthy nuttiness on the back end with that ever persistent fruitiness. Finishes relatively dry.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Soft mouthfeel.
Drinkability: A pleasant, easy-drinking brew from good ole Yazoo out of Nashville. I should, the Good Lord willing, have no trouble clearing through the remainder of the six-pack. SoberCajun (49), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Nov 2, 2009 Pours clear amber/brown with a thin white head that quickly dissipates. A very faint aroma of malt, nothing distinctive. The taste is very dry with a slightly off-putting burnt character. Watery with a bitter background, but no aftertaste to speak of. Harmless and uninspiring beer. phaleslu (423), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Oct 21, 2009 Draft at the brewery, part of a sampler. Pours clear brown with a quickly vanishing small off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt, toast, caramel. Flavor is really roasty, with caramel malt and hops. I’m kind of surprised not more people had the same impression I did, that there is just a massive roast quality to this. Light bodied, thin consistency, and a quick dry finish. wetherel (1565), Encinitas, California, USA Sep 2, 2009 Crazy name. From WeeHeavySD. Super dry. roasty. Tastes like a cigarette butt stuck in water. Smells like mugi cha. A hint of chlorine phenolics too. Blech. swoopjones (1862), Buffalo, New York, USA Aug 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours a light to medium brown. Caramel malt aroma with a touch of chocolate. Taste is spot on with the aroma. Decent T2Tool (352), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA Aug 20, 2009 This beer has become one of my favorite session beers around Nashville over the past year. Have had both on bottle and draft, but this review regards the draft had at the taproom. Arrived with a small tan head on top of a clear brown color with hints of red on the edges. Aroma is of caramel malts. Caramel also comes through in the taste along with roasted malt and some bready notes. More than easy to down a few of these in a single sitting. MrChopin (621), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 1, 2009 Transparent ruby, thin white head is gone if you look away. Nose is straightforward roasted malt, hints of smoke and caramel. The caramel is strong in the flavor, washing everything else out but slight hints of smoke. Pretty dry, short, empty finish. Too sweet to session and to simple to savor.
