On tap -> Pint glass at Blue Grass Tavern in Baltimore, MD. My wife and I met some friends for Sunday brunch. I wasn't expecting this place to have anything decent as far as beer. To my surprise, the first this I see at the bar is two tap handles, this and Dale's Pale Ale. I've had Dale's a lot, but I'd never had this one. Plus, it's good to support local breweries!
A - Cloudy dark brownish red, white foamy head, webbed sticky lacing, little carb streams
S - Mildly sweet, toasted English muffin
T - Whoppers! This tastes just like malted milk balls. I happen to enjoy that candy, so this was very pleasing. Very malty and sticky sweet from the first taste through the middle. Some mild light roast coffee notes. This one finishes with some clean mildly bitter notes. As it opens up some mild spiced notes arrive, almost like toasted mild gingerbread.
M - Medium bodied. Not much else to it.
O - Easy to drink, but not quite session-able. I had two in this sitting, and enjoyed the first one far more than the second. Very sweet and great to pair with traditional American breakfast foods like eggs, ham, grits and other savory and salty items. I imagine that this would be a good dessert beer. I'd order this one again if I saw it.
Keep up the good work DuClaw!

poured into a 23-ounce pilsner glass at DuClaws at BWI airport. Also had previously in growlers.
A: nice coffee brown color with two-finger foamy head that lasts a long time. Lacing lasts a long time also.
S: heavy sweet maple and toffee tones
T: smooth strong toffee, malt and roasted coffee flavors. No bitterness at all.
M: heavy, thick, sweet, very little carbonation - good mouthfeel
O: an outstanding beer that I strongly recommend. Go out of my way to grab one at BWI whenever I have time.

a brownish red in color with a finger of head which quickly dissipated leaving no lacing behind. smells of peanut butter, chocolate, toffee. tastes of toffee, chocolate, that fake powder peanut butter stuff. it's actually quite tasty. a little on the light side with high carbonation which fizzes in your mouth.
not a bad beer but just a bit underwhelming. very tasty, and sweet with a dry finish. this seems like it wouldn't be a bad beer to pick up as a 6pk. like it gets better as the session continues.

Smells very heavy, a malt scent with strong coffee, burnt nut flavor. It is a very cherry wood like color.
The head is pretty light with almost no lacing.
At first it has nutty, almost hazelnut flavor, that is complimented by a sweetness and then goes into light-roast coffee flavor. As it sits the burnt nuttiness takes over, and mellows out. Almost no spiciness, it is a dry, nutty beer. Probably suitable to pair with a meaty dinner with some salty potatoes or such.
It is pretty light, not too heavy, though not sweet and has a load of dry, roasted nuttiness.

loads of coffee on the nose. Clean light brown color. Really nice lacing,some roasty notes on the nose as well. Flavor is upfront and maple syrup smoked complexity. Coffee starts with a creamy mid-palate that transfers to a pleasant grainyness and a hint of peanut shells. Sweet come finish. Overall by far the best nut brown I ever had.
