Dark conker (horse chestnut) brown with an espresso type film and some meagre lacing. Fine streaming bubbles make up the carbonation.

Aroma is malty and nutty. Tastes are in the dry category with an emphasis on cooking chocolate bitterness. As it warms increasing nut flavors come through to accent the malt. Mouthfeel perhaps a tad thin and I’d like a little more sweetness, but it’s nothing to get too distressed over.

No the best Brown Ale, but a decent enough attempt and I would certainly visit this again when in the Carolina’s.
