on draft, pours dark brown with a medium frothy tan head. Aroma is carmel and brown sugar. Solid carmel malt and biscuit flavors mix with a sweet brown sugar and a nice bitter malt finish. Very nice brown ale.

A clear brown ale with a thin offwhite head. Ina roma, lightly nutty malt aroma, non-descript. In mouth,a nice smooth nutty malt with grassy hops, medium bodied. On tap at SweetWater Atlanta Airport, Dec. 29 2009.

Hazy amber brown with a thin beige head. Aroma of caramel, nut, peach, plum, floral hop. taste is more roast malt with a slight bitter finish. Smooth medium body and good smooth carbonation.

draft. filtered copper. chilled glass. incredibly weak malt, it’s flabby and fizzy and humorously rough and dirty. the yeast tastes like sand and soil and the hops are rough and distracting. horrible beer.

Pours a deep, clear brownish amber with a big creamy beige head that recedes slowly to a soapy cap. The aroma is pretty bland with some light sweet caramel malts, some earthy hops and a bit of roasted nuts. The taste is more of the same with some lightly toasted nuts and caramel coming through. The finish is a little dry and has a lingering bitterness of citrus and grains. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with plenty of carbonation, though the flavors seem a tad watered-down overall. This is a fair representation of the style, with a good flavor that would be even better if there was more substance to the body. Not bad.

12 oz bottle courtesy of GAManiac. Thanks, Grant! Pours a darker iced tea hue, some fiery notes and more prominent brownish notes mix, a decent offwhite head sits atop, minimal haze, dies to a small layer, laces spotty. Aromas are some light brown type malts, caramel and a faint brown sugar mix with decent floral and earthy hopping, no real tobbacco notes, but a faint nut, toffee, and biscuits and bread make their way through. Initial is cereal, caramel, toffee, biscuits, and a touch of nuttiness stick to the palate, faint cocoa on the backend, pretty good malty sweetness, a light floral earthy hopping that leads to a bit of a tobbacco feel. Biscuits, toffee, and bread, smooth sweetness with a crisp faint vanilla feel, bitterness gets in there and provides a bit of balance in there, without taking the dominance away from the malts.

Bottle. Pours a brown body with an off white head. Malty, nutty tones, light roast y malt. Thin and sessionable. Caramel and a dry light hopped finish. Decent.

Bottle thanks to craftbeerdesign. Clear reddish amber color with a thin off white head. Nose of wet grains and burnt toast, with hints of play-doh. Lots of brown sugar sweetness, some toasted grains, a little nuttiness and a slight hop presence in the finish. Not very complex, but an easy drinking brown ale.
