| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 29, 2007 bottle. intense ruby red hue. caramel malts dominate the aroma, still musty and tight though. flavor is fairly one dimensional, but it’s a good flavor. hops are noticed as is the carbonation. slight mineral and honey notes on the finish. it’s an easy drinker. not bad, just unimpressive.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 12, 2007 Bottle: Reddish brown, average head, no signs of visible life. Not much of an aroma, but this delivers a nice flavor package -- caramel and nut, maybe a hint of coffee and smoke. Doesn’t deliver much in the way of body, so despite a decent flave, this falls a tad short. (#3017, 7/12/2007) stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 12, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours copper with a red hue and a small beige head. Aroma of caramel malts, dark fruit, and sweetness. the flavor is caramel, fruit, sweet, and slight traces of hops in the finish. JFURYCAT (792), East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 29, 2007 Bottle from ABC in Harrisburg. A pleasant malty flavor is here but the finish is a bit watery for the style and the maltiness is not very pronounced. I understand the importance of making a balanced beer which people like but this one is too blase other than some tangyness. mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 28, 2007 [307-20070509] 12floz (c/o tupalev, w/ him, blankboy, jerc). Burnt caramel and sweet malt aroma. Clear, burnt amber brown body with a bubbly off-white head. Caramel malt toast flavour with a slightly sour fruit aftertaste. Medium-full body. Interestingly put together. jason (1624), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 25, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep amber body with thin head. Malty profile, peaty. Flavor is decent with a sweet malty taste, light hops. A weak mouthfeel for the style, this one is too light and it hurts it enough that it falls short of being a good beer. Very drinkable. jerc (3954), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 10, 2007 Bottle. Brown body with a small off white head. Peaty earthy aroma. Sweet caramel flavour is a touch dilute. Average palate. blankboy (3250), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 10, 2007 Bottle shared with tupalev, jerc & mabel -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear amber with a small diminishing off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt and brown sugar. Somewhat watery flavour of caramel malt, brown sugar and a hint of smoke. Average bodied. Pretty decent beer, especially for Appalachian, but not great.
