On tap at Charlotte Airport. Nothing special with the brown, medium mouthfeel, a pretty bland version of the style. Darker than, say, a Newcastle, but nothing approaching it in quality.

Well, I find this somewhat flat. Watery. Fizzy. Muddy. Somewhat soury flavor. Bitter finish. Really not much here. Light chocolatey flavor is lost among the mess this beer is. A shame, as I’ve enjoyed the other Cottonwood beers I’ve had.

Pours a clear dark brown color with huge froathy tan head. Aroma bit nutty and sweet molases. Flavor sweet and nutty, nice malt presence and mouthfeel. Decent brown.

On tap at the Charlotte airport. Muddy brown pour with a nice brown head. Has a chocolatey, nutty and mildly roasted flavor. Light body with alot of taste, not bad.

Part of draught sampler at Charlotte airport. Reddish-brown, almost opaque, tan head. Muted whispers of caramel. Thin and fizzy mouthfeel. Hidden chocolate malts need to be brought more to the fore. Not getting it.

Pours a dark brown with a medium off-white head and no lacing. Nice balance of hops and malt, but I would have liked more of both. This is a pretty standard brown ale.
