this is a local brew for me, so i have had the pleasure of drinking it from the tap on several occasions. i enjoyed this tasting more than those, since it’s first time i actually avoided the dreaded frozen mug compliments of our fine establishments.
i drank the beer out of one of the new sam adams glasses.
now for the beer...
appearance is very nice. it poured a medium brown with about two inches of head that dissipated about a third the way down the glass. lacing was nice and there was plenty left to see by the time i finished this brew.
the smell was good. not necessarily knock you out good, but very nice for a brown ale. the pecan is definitely in there. the smell is much better as the beer warms and the pecans come through superbly.
the taste is very balanced throughout and it finishes quite nicely.
the mouthfeel was just average. it was a bit thin, but not even close to unacceptable. i noted that upon warming, this beer was delightful. i think it’s better at a warmer temperature.
the drinkability is off the charts with this one. it really would be a great session beer. i’m glad these come in six packs now.
i can’t help but think that some of you are high when you rated this beer.

Dec 3, 2008 Pours amber with copper to gold edges and tan head. The aroma is roasty and nutty to go along with crystal type malts and mild cherry hard candy sweetness. The taste begins with some roasted malts mixing with crystal malts and then moving more and more nutty. By midway some malt sweetness joins in with the rich nuttiness and carries the experience into the finish. Tasty nut brown.

Dec 3, 2008 Bottle thanks to Joe, my first beer from Mississippi. Pours a very pleasant amber redbrowncolor with a medium off white head. I really love the aroma pecan pie, very sweet, loads of toasted malts, and caramel, but very strong pecan notes What an aroma, pure goodness The flavor is pretty sweet, loads of rich caramel, toasted malts, a light hop bitterness that is refreshing, and light vestiges of pecans. More of a roasted nut flavor. A medium and smooth mouthfeel. Very nice. Leaves your palate clean and with a bit of sweetness.

Nov 30, 2008 A nice ale. If the label didn’t make it clear that pecans were present in the brew, I probably wouldn’t have noticed them. To me, this is simply a nice ale with a full caramel malty flavor. The finish is understated and consists of typical hop bite.

Nov 29, 2008 draft. This is a nice beer. Nothing special. Like Newcastle with maple syrup. Good for a ms brew.

Nov 28, 2008 whopping thanks to deepsouth(BA) for this extra in my magical case of goodies.
This is my second time drinking this wonderful brew. Being the only beer I’ve had from the Mississippi Brewery, I’m quiet impressed with the originality inparticular. A nice fluffy tan heads fades into a nice thin layer atop a wonderful looking amber/copper with a slow rising carbonation that is as much at ease as the south itself. Wow that is an absolutely awesome aroma of Pecans. Not just pecans but roasted pecans. A nice robust and hearty dark malt accompany the roasted Pecans on their way up and into my nostrils. Elegantly smooth with a nice roasted malt character with a huge pecan punch throughout. It is ridiculously nutty with those roasted pecans leading the charge! This beer has a nice mellow, relaxed light to medium bodied with a very clean aftertaste. This beer is easy to drink even on a hot [and as required by universal code of torture], humid and nasty day [in Boston]. Add this one to you list of things to try! I would tell you more about how good this beer is but unless you’ve had one, you wouldn’t get it. No really, it’s nothing personal, you really wouldn’t get it.
