I had this at a restaurant. It is easily one of my favorite beers - granted I’m no beer expert and haven’t tried too many yet. Very smooth.

Sample with friends at the brewclub’s Teach A Friend To Brew meet 11/8/2009. Typical brown beer with khaki head. Aroma of sweet dark malt. Flavor is fairly good, with sweet dark malts, nuts, chocolate, and bread. Rather mild and easy drinking, medium body. If you like brown ales, this is a good one, but brown ale is not one of my favorite styles, and I wouldn’t go looking for it. Still a solid beer.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Clear brown color with a foamy, off-white head. Okay head retention but not much in the way of lacing. Aroma: Light nose with notes of nuts, a bit of chocolate, and bread. Flavor: A bit on the watery side with notes of nuts, malt sweetness, a bit of caramel, chocolate, and some bread. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a medium-short, sweet finish. Overall: Very middle of the road for a brown ale. Nothing spectacular here by any means.

Draft in Charlotte. Pours a healthy nutty brown color with a foamy off white head. Nose is syrupy and sugary with a nutty base and light caramel malt note. Palate is full and fluffy. Flavors of the nuts and caramel with a light bready note.

On tap at the Charlotte Airport, Carolina Bar. Semi-cloudy brown with small off-white head. Aroma is light roast and nutty with a little tobacco. Flavor is a stronger, sweeter roast with slight red/purple fruit, a slight tobacco and a slight cola presence as well. Medium to light, semi-watery body with some active carbonation. Solid.

Nice head initially, but disappeared pretty quickly. Chocolaty brown opaque appearance. Not much aroma. Nutty taste. Kind of watery at end.

Bottle: (An infected one) Pours a deep ruby brown with a khaki film of head. Tart and nutty aroma- some aceto seems to have accumulated over a dark crystal malt and toasted nutty suggestion. Light body. Infected flavor- some soft aceto bacteria covers up, what seemed like a decent nutty and toasted crystal malt body. I need to sample one that’s not infected, this was almost a borderline, sub par Flemish Red.
