Iphonephan	3.7 Carolina Dry Irish Stout On draft at Trio in Kitty Hawk. Pours a clear dark cola brown with a tan head. Aromas of coffee and chocolate. Flavor is bitter roast espresso. Loads of flavor in a low abv beer. Saturday, May 12, 2018

aumentm	3.3 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale Medium appearance and light head. Smooth taste and pumpkin aroma. Good taste for the fall. Sunday, May 10, 2015
chinchill	3.3 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood High Gravity Frostbite 12 oz bottle served in a snifter. (from notes). Pours near black with a decent head that has some legs and leaves bands of lacing on the glass. Aroma: as expected hops, an an IPA level, with some sweet and dark malts. Flavor: about equal mix of dark and very dark roasted grains and earthy/herbal hops. Medium bitterness. Both hops anddark roast linger on and on in the aftertaste. O: fairly easy drinking and tame black IPA, yet flavorful, as the malts and hops partly neutralize each other. Monday, February 23, 2015

Xenon	2.9 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale Tastes more like a pumpkin spice cake than a beer. That being said it tastes like a good pumpkin spice cake haha. A bit of yeasty breafiness but not Mich else besides the pumpkin. Succeed s at least in that regard Monday, October 27, 2014
GnarlyGnome	3.2 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale Draft: This is good, but nothing spectacular... lots spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, very pumpkin pie-like. Body is lacking a bit, it’s a bit thin. Sunday, October 12, 2014
generallee08	3.3 Carolina Beer Co. Blonde It has a pale straw yellow color with good clarity and visible carbonation. The head is thin, bright white and foamy. It quickly fades leaving little to no lace behind. The aroma is mild and has hints of light malty grains and husky notes. The flavor is simple crisp and clean. Light malty grains give it a slightly sweet character with a touch of citrus and leafy/herbal hops. Its light body, fairly thin texture and crisp finish make it easy to drink Tuesday, June 17, 2014
Butters	3.3 Carolina Beer Co. Limerick Irish Red On draft at Carolina ale house. Nice clear reddish amber pour with Good off white head. Decent malty caramel notes but with a bright citrus hop character for balance. Pretty good and refreshing. Friday, May 9, 2014

asheft	2.7 Carolina Beer Co. Blonde [on tap in CLT airport] Sweet base malt and hay aroma with some faint lagery sulfur and young popcorn notes. Crystal clear straw under a short-lived white cover that clings to the glass. Weak flavour of hay and sweet pilsner-style malt that lets through some ethanol tang. Noble hops presence in the background. Light body and watery, with medium carbonation, and a faintly tart finish. Sunday, March 16, 2014

eRock_2013	3 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood High Gravity Frostbite Presented as a winter seasonal beer, this beer may serve that purpose well, but would seem to be unpleasant under other circumstances. Appearance was an appetizing dark amber, aroma was lighter with some roastiness and sweetness. My experience of the taste was not very enjoyable: alcohol content was not masked well, sweetness struck me as sticky and syrupy, hoppiness was present but indistinctive. Indistinctive in that their was a variety of competing flavors. Medium-bodied. I will say this was a complex and flavorful brew, although I personally did not care for it. Monday, January 20, 2014
freekyp	2.4 Carolina Beer Co. Limerick Irish Red On tap at Carolina Ale House. A run of the mill red ale that pairs well with pub grub. Easy drinking and balanced, but nothing stands out. Brewed for the masses, beer knurds should look elsewhere for flavor. Might be a good gateway beer. All that said, it is brewed skillfully and without flaws, and is a pretty reddish brown in the pint glass. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone Tuesday, December 31, 2013
geologyguy	3.1 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale Spicy cinnamon type flavor...but after that its pretty watery...spices are good but nothing besides that Monday, December 23, 2013

TimsRatings	2.4 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale From 12oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with little head. Cinnamon and slight nutmeg aroma. Touch-o-hops basically waters down the spiciness of the beer. Kinda weak. Dogfish Head Punkin Ale is a much better example of a spiced pumpkin ale. Wednesday, October 23, 2013
OneHotPepper	3 Carolina Beer Co. Strawberry Ale Monday, September 30, 2013
beechner224	3.4 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale Poured from the bottle. Aroma is full of nutmeg, with some hints of clove. No real sweetness or hop presence to speak of. Color is a nice orange-amber hue, with small white head. Flavor is strong clove, with just enough malt sweetness to balance the spices. Again, not much from the hops. Overall, this is not my favorite style, but this is a nice pumpkin beer. Friday, September 6, 2013

Beergeek23322	3.3 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Endo India Pale Ale May 2010. Bottle. Amber color with a white head. Caramel, citrus and malt aromas. Flavors of tropical fruit, caramel and hops. A bit mediocre. Thursday, July 4, 2013
durhambeer	2.7 Carolina Beer Co. Blonde I remember this one, and I remember its many iterations, including the plastic 16oz bottle. Before many good beers came to NC, I bought this at the beach on occasion. Better than shitty macro, but still a bit sweet and corny. Slightly metallic. Saturday, June 1, 2013
keepersj12	3.3 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood High Gravity Frostbite Nice aroma of roast malt and some pine. The flavor has the sweet malt with a bit of chocolate and the bit of pine. The finish is dry and refreshing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Sunday, May 26, 2013

maxwelldeux	2.4 Carolina Beer Co. Limerick Irish Red Draught at CAH under the name "Ale House Red." Pours a clear brown color with a slight red tinge. Nose is almost nonexistent. Taste has a bit of grains to it. Meh. Tuesday, March 12, 2013
maxwelldeux	1.4 Carolina Beer Co. Light Draught at CAH under the name "Ale House Pilsner." Pours a clear light golden color with a thin head. Nose is a tad sweet in a weird way, and taste crappy lager sweet. Not a fan. Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Viper666.Qc	3.4 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood High Gravity Frostbite Bouteille 12oz, sous le nom de Carolina Beer Co Cottonwood Frostbit" et courtoisie de Hogtownharry ou Blankboy. De couleur ambrée-orange et voilée. Nez malté de caramel légèrement rôti, moyen de houblon herbeux aux notes citriques (pamplemousse) et résineuses ainsi qu’avec quelques épices piquantes au nez. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement fort-moyen et une texture légèrement huileuse aux notes crémeuses. Goût très légèrement épicé (traces de cannelle, de poivre et de pain d’épices) avec de faibles notes fruitées (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche rapidement éclipsé par un goût malté de caramel faiblement rôti avec des traces de sirop d’érable boisé. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une moyenne-légère amertume de houblon herbeux aux notes citriques et aux traces résineuses jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, léger-moyen amer de houblon hebreux aux petites notes citriques et résineuses avec des notes de rôti. Tuesday, January 15, 2013
KirkFrancis	3.2 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood High Gravity Frostbite Nice balance. Good malty flavor for a black IPA. Hops are not overpowering, but are also not that interesting. Now marketed under the Foothills name. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Wednesday, January 2, 2013

Rrauth	3.9 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood High Gravity Frostbite Black good head decent lacing. Smell pine and fruit. But not like grapefruit. More sweet. Nice IPA. Very nice finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Tuesday, November 27, 2012
JCB	2.8 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale Usually the one I reach for at a party, when it’s down to this or non-local pumpkins. Like most, this one’s basically a perfunctory amber ale with just enough hop bite in there to provide some relief from the overwhelmingly sweet additions. Just never a style I’ve warmed to, but this one’s better than some. Saturday, November 24, 2012

maxwelldeux	1.8 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale Bottle. Pours an amber color with almost no head. A fair amount of clove smell to this. Not as heavy on the spices as many other pumpkin beers, but still not great. Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Rrauth	2.6 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Pumpkin Spiced Ale Bottle from foothills. Copper with head that vanishes quickly. Tastes is spice and pumpkin. Nutmeg is prevalent over any cinnamon. Not bad but I like more cinnamon. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Sunday, September 2, 2012
jsmerig	3.6 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Endo India Pale Ale Pours a pale clear yellow gold. Aroma of light malt and citrus hops. Taste is mild malt with a citrus hop bite that comes across as grassy. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Thursday, July 26, 2012
rdixon77	3 Carolina Beer Co. Cottonwood Endo India Pale Ale Old rating but more of an old school caramel and pine ipa. It was fine as I recall but nothing amazing Tuesday, July 10, 2012
GuyNBlack	3 Carolina Beer Co. Blonde Bubblely with refreshing taste, and clean finish. Very light. Good beer for a hot day. Sunday, July 1, 2012
