This beer started as a Southern English Brown, and evolved from there. The nose almost comes across as caramel, but when you drink you will find that it is not sweet. Dark, toasty, and lightly sweet with notes of chocolate, coffee, biscuit, and caramel, this beer is complex but very drinkable. A rustic but balanced beer without a strong hop presence, definitely made for the malt lovers of the old world.

October 15th, 2015 - Monkey Paw's (writing this in 2019, RIP) Sweet Georgia Brown is a shy beer, timidly peeking out from the glass like a wounded animal. It pours big and bold and puffs up with a cinnamon colored head, but the smell is frustratingly hard to parse. There are some subtler notes of teriyaki sauce but little else. But the taste is a store of genius. A heavy body avalanches across the tongue but the flavor is closer to a porter, with a rich, balanced and delicious malt bill and a long aftertaste of that gourmet molasses.
