T: Surprisingly bitter with herbal and earthy hops balancing the caramel sweetness well.
M: Crisp carbonation and light body with a slightly ashy finish.

My bottle does not say nut on it, but the description above is the same description that’s on CBC’s website for Carolina Brown Ale @ 4.9%. Fresh malty bready aroma. Looks somewhat like iced tea. Peaty, English in nature. Leather, some cutting sizzle. Does not hide alky well. Finish is mishy creamy old country. Left wanting. No way is this in the same style as East End Fat Gary, Beaver Brown Note or Zuckfoltzfus Squirrel Bait. Shame.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market in Raleigh, NC. Pours a clear reddish brown color with a medium head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is dark, very faintly roasted malts, chocolate and caramel. Taste is toasted malts, chocolate and very faint leafy hops. A nutty note in the finish. Medium bodied.

Deep hazy rich brown coloured body with a darker tint and a thinnish tan head. Aroma of fresh malt - good nuts, alcohol and even a decent dose of hops. Medium-bodied; Sharp malty flavour with some pit fruit tastes in the forefront that taste well and show sweetness. Aftertaste fades to nuttiness, malt and a light caramel flavour. Almost no hops at all to speak of. Overall, a decent brown, but since this isn’t my style, I can’t say it’s amazing. Worth trying if you like the style since it wasn’t bad in any respect - tough to say for a lot of the beers in this style! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Durham, North Carolina on 31-August-2008.
