| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 23, 2004 (Draft: Liars' Club in SD) Wonderfully nutty flavor with a mildly sweet and toasty maltiness that adds just a touch of bitterness; Very mild hops is definitely subdued in this beer and is part of the reason why the finish is so light and short-lived; The nose has very little aroma and is faintly malty; Dark ruddy brown in color; Light tan head has excellent retention and lacing that coats the glass Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA

The beer as it spills for the keg into the appropriate container a transparent brown, the head prodigious in size and the texture spumous, the color a toothsome tan with the lace a thick and sticky sheet to obscure the glass. Nose is slightly floral, nice nutty malt sweetness, fresh and crisp with the start somewhat sweet, thickly malted and the top fair to middling in feel. Finish has a nice moderate carbonation and the hops pleasingly spicy as the beer warms to the room and the glass, quite dry and a decent drinking beer, certainly not the worst Brown Ale I’ve tasted, but do like most all the other Alesmith beers better than this one, still worth a sample.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2006 Tap at The Liar’s Club. The beer pours to a deep mahogany body with a lot of red highlights. The beer has a thick, dense, lively craem of wheat head. The beer has nice lacing. The aroma reminds me of raisin bread and light peanut butter. The flavor is quite good. Nice peanuts and walnuts surrounded by lots of various kinds of hops. Citrusy and grassy. Very flavorful. The palate is very creamy, medium-bodied, perhaps a touch over-carbonated. jgb9348 (2515), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 15, 2009 Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice tan head. Aroma of coffee, nuts, chocolate and plenty of malt! Medium to Full-bodied; Deep malty taste with nuts and some hops showing through. Aftertaste has some sugars and a little fruitiness - very well done. Overall, a very well balanced brown ale - worth trying if you are here in San Diego! I sampled this beer on draught at the Liar’s Club in San Diego, California on 23-September-2006. kmweaver (2489), Sebastopol, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 1, 2007 Draft @ Alesmith. Pours a brownish-amber color; light tan head with good retention and lacing. Creamy, oily nut aroma; some chocolate and caramel. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: creamy nuttiness and toasty caramel; viscous; excellent chewiness and generosity for a brown ale; dried fruits and a slightest citrus on the mid-palate. Medium, nutty and creamy finish; excellent brown ale.
