Originally a special draft-only release for the 2012 Decatur Green Fest, this beer was so adored that we decided to bring it on full-time in 2013. With a mild herbal spice hop aroma and a malty flavor profile featuring notes of caramel, toffee, and nuts, this malt-forward, Altcentric beer is a welcome compliment to our hop-forward roster. Brewed in association with Dogwood Alliance, an organization formed in 1996 and dedicated to protecting Southern forests and communities from destructive logging practices.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a darkish orange-brown color with a medium sized foamy beige-white head that lingered and left great lacing. The aroma was toasty, woody, malty and had a hint of cola. The flavor was dryish and woody with a touch of burnt toasty and a faint vague herbal presence. Medium length dry, toasty and woody finish. Medium body. Blah.

at the bocktow. decent alt. not as bitter as most alts tasted. quite friendly, really. during the session some back of throat bitter ness wants to manifest itself but never quite gets thar. Nice lacing reminds me of my favorite mate’s undies. yes, better than most other alts IMHO. finish is near leather.
