A clear brown ale with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet nutty caramel malt with grassy character, roasted notes, OK. In mouth, nice roasted chocolate malt with grassy notes, light hops, not bad. Bottle from Courtyard Marriott Billy Graham, CLT.

Tap at Bier Garden, Asheville. Amber-brown-black, looks unfiltered. Thin, oily beige head. Sweet dark malt aroma, a hint of dark fruit. A fruity amber stout, this is unique. Chocolate covered plum. Vanilla, chocolate. Quite reminiscent of Saranac;s Chocolate-Amber.

Bottled. A chest-nut colored beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, nuts, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, nuts, cocoa powder, and malt, leading to a dry cocoa finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle from ross - deep amber pour with large but short-lived head - almost tart, earthy aroma, with herbs and a touch of nutmeg - thin-bodied and thin-flavored - hints of cherries, caramel and milk chocolate, all of which taste artificial - almost sour finish - really not that enjoyable.
