On tap at Natty Greenes, Greensboro NC on 13 July 2006. Chestnut brown colour. Nutty and borderline dry. Just a touch of caramel and a lick of dusty hops. Malt is more toasty than sweet caramel. Relatively firm mouthfeel. Not usually a style I’m too keen on but this was a decent enough example.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is a decent brown ale. It pours a deep chestnut color with a good-lacing ecru head. The aroma is a lightly roasted malt with some crushed nuts and a bit of milk chocolate. The flavor is a smoothly sweet roasted malt with some nutty bitterness... and then the chocolate sneaks up and delivers a hard kick in the finish. A good sessionable ale. <font size=-4>On tap at the <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Greene’s Pub & Brewing Company, Greensboro, NC.<font size=-1>

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Reviewed from notes. On tap at the brewpub.
Pours a chestnut color with a light tan head and a small amount of lacing. The nose brings some light toasted malt, caramel, and a bit of a nutty characteristic. The taste is pretty tame, with some bread, caramel, toffee, and nuts. Feel is good with adequate carbonation. Nice and smooth. Drinks well enough, but nothing special. Fairly sessionable.
Serving type: on-tap
