Sampled from draft at the Carolina Beer Company in the Charlotte airport during a layover at 9am in the morning. Darker rootbeer appearance. Creamy head. mild dark beer aroma, but no fragrance really sticks out. A well behaved dark brew. Good example of a friendly dark beer without any offensive attributes. Wet old roasty back woods flavors. On th finish, not offensive yet provides the satisfaction of good beer personality.

Aug 4, 2008 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.

Jul 31, 2008 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.

Jul 16, 2008 Your basic brown. Slight roasted nuttiness. Balanced malt and hops. Could have more of both, but very drinkable. You could do worse.
