12 oz. can from Total Wine in Greenville, SC. Thanks Kathy! Pours a dark brown color with a small beige head and decent retention. Light lacing. Nutty aroma. Nutty and roasted malt flavor with a hint of chocolate in the finish. Smooth and clean and very easy drinking. Medium-light body. Slightly thin for a brown ale. Higher than expected carbonation. Low bitterness. Repeatable. And the 6.3% ABV is invisible.

Can courtesy of Bacchus66. Thanks. Pours a medium dark brown color with a khaki colored head. The aroma is dark cocoa powder and well roasted grains. The taste follows the nose with more cocoa and more roasted grains. Also present in the taste is some bitter walnuts. Palate body is medium. Overall: decent brown. Paired well with some scharfe maxx alpine cheese.

Location: Draft at F.I.G. Restaurant, 12/8/12

Aroma: This one has a nutty and chocolate malt nose to it, with earthy notes too
Appearance: Pours a brown color with a red hue, and a long lasting head heavy, and coating lace
Flavor: It has a roasted malt flavor, some nuts, and a later medium-plus bitterness
Palate: this beer has a medium-plus body, a creamy feel, a soft carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression:  I found this too be a really solid, well-made brown ale. It drinks quite nicely, and has very nice components to it. Solid stuff.

Once again, COAST makes me happy to be a Charlestonian. Rye Knot is an awesome brown ale, tossing in tons of rye to the normal mix of roasted malts and hoppy bitterness. The rye meshes well with the flavors of coffee and bitter chocolate, while the dry finish reasserts that this brew is indeed, first and foremost, a hoppy brown. Think of a smarter Dogfish India Brown. (12/2/08).

22oz bottle shared at the DC Local tasting. Pours a translucent, nearly opaque deep, mahogany brown with a thin, creamy white head. Spicy, malty nose that has the rye coming through. Some nice toasty aroma notes too. Flavor is the same with some spicy rye, chocolate and toast. Dry finish.
