Bed of Nails is crafted as an American ode to a traditional English brown. A light hop addition balances the natural sweetness present in the specialty malt. This beer’s delicate body and dry finish allow flavors of toffee and dark fruit to shine through.

Bottle. Deep, dark copper color with a smal head with a lot of lace. Apparently Hi Wire knows how to do lace. Aroma is lots of caramel and toffee. Taste is also lots of caramel and toffee. I really like this beer.

Pint at O'Shuck's in Loganville. Pours brown, with a small, off-white head. The nose is caramel, pine sap, caraway, light rye, and pumpernickel. Quite sweet and sugary. A bit of dank bitterness. Medium body, slick, and syrupy. Reasonable.

Deep brown color with a toasted malt aroma. Taste is very slight toffee sweetness and low earthy, woody bitterness to finish. Mild drinking for a brown ale, little to no coffee bitterness flavor.

Light roast and some nut. A little unbalanced on the boozy caramel side. Browb pour with decent head. Too sweet end. Can.
