Can from Joe's Wine and Liquor, Memphis. Aroma is dark malt with roast, caramel, soft notes of coffee and dark chocolate. Flavour is moderate sweet with a good roasty bitterness. Body is medium but feels a bit thin for the aroma. Carbonation is fairly lively. Good.

Friend of mine bring this over from his vacation in the States. Nicely sweet bitter tasting beer with fine hints of caramel and toasted malts. You can say Arkansas meets Kilkenny. Old paper ratings before Ratebeer, so why not rate them in hindsight.

Sigh... still waiting to go out. Beer ain't bad.

Notes from August 2009 Arkansas... :) Standard pint glass. Huge bubbly tan head, wispy lace. Clear ebony/ruby-colored body. Smell hits me up with dry toast & murky, herbal/rindy hops, & just a little Baker's chocolate. Diving in, I'm tasting burnt nuts/toast, faint coffee. Pretty robust. Earthy bittering. Bittersweet char finish. Carbonation is strong. Body is thin. Alcohol is about as expected. Feels very much like a stout. Could use some more residual sweetness. I suddenly felt really hungry while finishing this one off. I followed this up with another native taste... pork ribs. :D

Can. Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to Mr Frog. Almost clear dark brown beer, decent pale tan head. Smooth palate, a little soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Thin dark malts, a little caramel in there. Tired ripe fruits on the back end. Light finish. Inoffensive but deathly dull.
