Dark beer that pours a small head but leaves quite a bit of lace. There is a reason they call this Sweet Magnolia. Wow was it sweet. Too sweet, I felt that it needed a bit of a kick of something else (although the alcohol content was not low). It was a decent beer but I got halfway through the beer and thought I was drinking a soft drink. Well not really but I think you get the point.

Decent lace; thin head; dark ruby brown color.
Some metalic aromas, otherwise relatively mild, very low hop and only passable malt.
Good chocolate malt; some alcohol warmth. Light hop. Nice body with high carbonation.
This is a good brown ale offering that is easily enjoyed.

Poured a deep hazelnut brown, witha smallish off white head, decent retention and a good amount of residual lace. Smell was roasted caramel and a bit of english hops. Nice decent flavor, a bit thin, but very nicely balanced and rounded out with the hop profile leaving a somewhat dry finish. Overall this was fairly decent and a very nice offering from them. Seems this place gets a bit better with their darker beers.

Review from 2004, put on wrong restaurant:
Brown in color with a medium body, Sweet Magnolia has a floral hop aroma created by Mt. Hood hops. A sweet, malty flavor is rendered by Crystal and Chocolate malts from the United Kingdom. Sweet Magnolia Brown won a gold medal in the 1998 Great American Beer Festival in Denver. For a brown ale, the appearance in unimopressive but the tastes makes up for it.

Brown colour, very licorice, too sweet aroma and taste. Some bitterness. Chocolate and carmamel and too malted, almond and vanilla flavour but more confesction essence flavour than quality natural, sweet in attempt to disguise that it doesn't all hold together, unfinishable.

This review pertains to a cask-conditioned version of the Brown Ale.
Appearance: Although milk chocolate brown colored, looked very much like a stout, with the slowly forming head that starts about 2/3 of the way down the glass and then condenses and settles to about a 3 finger head. Great head retention and lacing.
Smell: Lots of caramel malt overtones with a touch of dark fruit, nuts and cola
Taste: Full-flavored with a rich brown ale flavors - a bit of chocolate, cola and nuts; somewhat toasted; low hops profile
Mouthfeel: Full-bodied with modest carbonation
Drinkability: A supurb English Brown Ale.
