Trying to clean out some of the old beers, not that this one's very old. Found it not long ago and I haven't had it since 2021. Came from a nice Chattanooga Tennessee brewery called Naked River Brewing. Good place to stop before risking your life on the Ocoee River. Gave it a 4.4 then so it's going to be good. Really dark for a brown ale, only a little light passes through. Aroma only reveals a small nutty characteristic. The taste is..... not what I remember. Much stronger in intensity, very roasted in a good way. Charred caramel is close. Also has notes of molasses. Flavor stays true through the finish and the charred sweetness remains on the back off the tongue long after. This beer comes at you hard and bold offering no apologies for how strong and directed it is. Most brown ales are very drinkable, a dark beer to enjoy fast. Not this one. Take a big sip, sit back, let it annihilate your tongue for a moment, then you're ready for another. I like it.

At my son's having Thanksgiving with family members. Been looking forward to this beer, a good Chattanooga Tennessee brew. Short head. Very deep reddish brown color. Sweet malty aroma, has notes of caramel. Very smooth, nutty sweet, mild caramel in a brisk and light textured beer. Very lightly roasted nutty malt. Very drinkable and delicious beer.
