May 8, 2009 Clear dark amber, no hint of corn or ’maize’, more like a Vienna on the nose. Light in body, seems turned, moderate sour kick. Not gonna finish this.

May 4, 2009 A - Poured with finger of head. Seemed to be little carbonation therefore not a lot of lacing down the glass. Pours a dark brown/ruby color. Nice color.
S - Malts dominate the smell. Chocolate, roasted malts, little nutty dominate with hops in the background but stuggling to distinguish themselves. The style lends itself to a malty aroma, but I would prefer a little more hop aroma.
T - Not a bad beer, but similar to the smell...I wish it were a bit more balanced. The burnt/roasted malt flavors come across a little harsh without enough hop flavor to balance. Style lends itself to a malt heavy flavor, but due to the imbalance of the roasted/dark malts it isn’t a very smooth beer. There is a touch of fruity ester flavor towards the end.
M - Not bad. The darker malts and residual sweetness give it a nice mouthfeel. I would assume this is very nice from a tap.
D - Not a bad beer but just not my favorite. Not one I’ll seek again but I will be trying their other offerings.

Apr 26, 2009 (trade with Suttree) Very fine white head. Very small, but lasted longer than the other Yazoo brew I just had. Ruby colored body. Again, not very aromatic. Perhaps a few darker malts poking through the nose, but that’s about it. Flavor of slightly wet cardboard, or perhaps wet bread (breadiness?). Nothing much left on the palate.

Mar 27, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy of lithy. Pours an amber-brown color with a fine off-white head. The aroma shows roasted malts, molasses, dirt and cocoa. The flavor is overtly sweet with apples. pears, brown sugar and almonds. The finish is short and dry. The mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side. Overall: My first Tennessee tick and not a bad one at all. Go Volunteers.

Mar 22, 2009 Picked up in Paris, TN. Pours a really dark chestnut brown. Aroma is of caramel, chocolate, and munich malts. Taste is chocolatey, biscuity, yet not over-bodied (I suspect the maize...which for once wasn’t overdone). Pretty easy drinking and tasty, though unexciting. The six pack won’t go to waste.
