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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
