Commercial Description:
A delicious brown ale with a deep chesnut color. Low hop rate and light carbonation make this brew a smooth and creamy number with a rich, malty-sweet finish. Look closely for the touch of roastedness in the background.

Bottle thanks to Joe. Pours a clear amber color with a small white head. The aroma is very interesting; lots of sweet fruity notes, some malt and light nutty aromas. A fairly sweet and very fruity mix, honey and earthy caramel malts also. The finish is very interesting; some fruit and maybe some smoke. Very nice. Almost like a baby Barley Wine.

Draft at Gatlinburg location. Darker amber/light brown in the glass with a thin off-white head that has a thin layer lasting, Very light aroma of malts. Milk chocolate flavor with a hop and earthy background. Light to medium body. Sweet beginning and a bitter ending. Slightly chalky.
