Bottle - snagged a couple before they disappear. Nutty chocolate malt and herbal hay aroma. Chestnut brown with small head. Sweet creamy nutty caramel malt flavor. Body on the light side. Pretty good.

My bottle says nothing about clay street, just saying, WTF. From a bottle at vintage it seems a little darker than yer typical pale ale. Smells like typical beer fer sure. Taste has a ropey feel and leathery taste to it. Had a few of these bluegrass beers, this one has a little bit of that citrus feel to it without bitter hoppiness. Decent co2 throughout. Finishing off this bottle I think its not so alky so I guess it hides the alky well. No alky content specified on this website. If its a american strong ale, heheh, HAH. Pretty funny. Decent finish if this is a high alky beer, of course there is no ratiung for this on RB, so it seems pretty mild, thinkin its around 5%, so, I guess its pretty low %. How on earth could this be a strong ale? Who knows, go figger.

Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. Nice aromas of floral hops, citrus and resin with some malt in there as well. Fairly well-balanced between caramel malt and bitter hops on the palate. Biscuity malt flavors appear is it comes to room temperature. Nice bitter finish.

Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. Nice vanilla, cacao and bourbon notes on the nose. Taste is thin-bodied and watery. Carbonation is too fizzy. Fruit notes show up as it comes to room temperature. Overly sweet. Kind of a mess.

Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights and a small tan head. Chocolate milk, toasted grains and malt on the nose. Bittersweet on the palate. Cacao notes become more pronounced as it warms up to room temperature. A little on the thin-bodied side. Nice finish bitter finish though.

Old rating. Bottle from old town. Vanilla, cacao and malts on the nose with a touch of bourbon. Tastes smooth and slightly bittersweet on the palate. Gets a little boozy as it comes to room temperature. Not bad but overall just kind regular.
