vadavid (131), Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA Feb 24, 2008 Dark brown in color. The aroma is faint with just a bit of malt and nuttiness coming through. The flavor is sweet malt with a bit of roasted chocolate. A decent English Brown Ale but nothing distinctive.
OldGrowth (1279), Cary, North Carolina, USA Sep 29, 2008 pint, at Falls Tap House. weak aroma, Little malt, caramel, brown sugar, papery cardboard. Clean orangy brown color, good head though that might of been the tap line issues they were having. Minor lace. So-so flavor, weak maltiness, chocolate. Minor bitter streak. Lite body, smooth mouthfeel, clean finish that fades away to nothing. Ok at best, nothing stands out, Might resample someday, might not. tzakiel (34), USA Sep 11, 2008 This is a simple and excellent beer. It’s not trying to be anything fancy. It’s just quaffable and delicious, and by god, i will buy it again. SacSirPlato (19), New Buffalo, Michigan, USA Aug 26, 2008 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. roder_60 (872), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 20, 2008 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. Guinness4Duff (464), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Aug 11, 2008 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.
