clear dark red, big tan head, intense piney hop aroma, rich dry malt flavor with a lasting woody bitterness, a cross between an amber and an esb, 1st place winner in ga brew challenge

Rating: 3/5.0
Score: *4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Came from the tap with medium carbonation, and a murky brown appearance. Aroma heavy on nutty and caramel with some hops. The taste was woody, nutty, and semi-sweet. The beer had a dry aftertaste and a medium mouthfeel. It is hard to place this beer into a style firmly. I think of it as a cross between a brown ale, and an amber ale.
