Commercial Description:
A delicious brown ale with a deep chesnut color. Low hop rate and light carbonation make this brew a smooth and creamy number with a rich, malty-sweet finish. Look closely for the touch of roastedness in the background.

Gatlinburg 12/22/07 Low hops and smooth and creamy are a good description. Very sweet finish with that coffee/chocolate aftertaste. Picked up a sixer to go.

Nice light woodsy faintly sour aroma. Pleasant medium body with a toasted maltiness. It does begin to finish more to the dry side as you drink it. Still a good beer but needs just a touch more sweetness in the finish.

A good, flavorful ale. This one goes down smooth, but would have liked a more noticable touch of roastedness and sweetness. Overall a solid beer though.

Nice amber/brown color,small head that faded quickly leaving nothing behind.The aroma was malty caramel and mild hops.Malty taste with a mild caramel and hops and a slight bitter sweet side as well.Not a bad brew at all fairly decent in flavor and highly drinkable.Well worth having a couple more around for later.Thanks go to Suttree for sending me this nice brew.

Draft - Great amber color. Malty sweetness in flavor with almost an oaky dryness to finish. Decent, but not quite sweet enough.
