| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Brown with thin off-white head, diminishing with particulates galore floating about the sea of brown ale in my shaker glass. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts and nuts. Smooth, malty, creamy to go with a medium palate. Tastes decent enough and finishes with a little semi-sweet bitter finish.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 17, 2008 Wonderful toasted aroma. Flavors jump between toasted and roasted: toast and caramel compete with cocoa and popcorn for malt dominance, yet none get an upperhand. Good body, creamy feel. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours chesnut with a light khaki head. The aroma is rich caramel and black tea with some almonds. The taste buttered toast with some honey on it. There is also a note of toasted almonds in the finish. The mouthfeel is full and creamy, making this seem like more than an average brown ale. Very well made, I could drink this all night. keoki182 (305), West Bend, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 20, 2008 A very nice red/brown color with a thin light tan head. Smells quite malty sweet. Flavor was caramel and malts with a strong pretzel taste. At 5.2%, I could drink this all afternoon. awautlet (45), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Amber... almost crimson in color with a crisp whit head that fades to a ring around the glass. Malty nose with hints of caramel. Palate is clean and malty with nutty flavors and more caramel. Crisp and slightly hoppy on the finish. CaptainCougar (5525), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2007 On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Pours a transparent copper brown with a spotty lacing wispy off-white head. Aroma of lightly sweet crystal malt with some toasty nutty notes. Lightly sweet and earthy caramel malty body has some full carbonation and a hint of tartness toward a thinner finish. A decent nut brown. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
