On tap at Charleston Red Lobster. Pours a deep dark brown with nice foamy beige head. Aroma was light, but had hints of woodsy malts. Flavor was very solid. A lot more of that woodsy malt came out, as well as some nice nut and caramel back notes. The most prominent that I could taste, was the woodiness. Perhaps barrel-aged? Very good though. Mountaineer continues to impress me.

Poured from the bottle to a translucent dark brown color, a thin tan head that dissipated fairly quickly and little lacing. The aroma of this fairly carbonated beer was a very pleasant blend of roasted nuts and sweet malt. The mouthfeel was gentle, and fairly full, although the body was still a little on the thin side.... a common trait among many brown ales. Flavor was a continuation of the roasted nuts and malt, yet I never did detect much along the lines of hops or alcohol. Nonetheless, this led to a nice tasty finish of medium duration. I’m not much a fan of Brown Ales, though I must say this is one of the best I’ve had, and from a small brewery in WV. I look forward to their other products.

12oz bottle. Pour is dark brown with reddish hues when held up to light. Fair tan head dissipated quickly. Aroma is brown malt. Taste is brown malt with light nutty background character. I would not call it sweet, but not bitter either. The only nut brown ale that I would definitely buy again.

My favorite out of the Mountaineers! Pours hazel brown color with a light head, that quickly dissapears. Tastes clean and crisp with a sweet nut flavor! Good Stuff!

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at the April Get Together. Malt aroma, with a slightly sweet flavor to follow. Thin and pretty typical of the average Brown Ale.
