| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 4, 2005 Poured from a 12 oz bottle at Summit Wayside Tavern, Atlanta, Ga. Has an off-white head and a dark copper appearance. Has a slight candy-like sweet aroma. Decently thick mouthfeel. Flavor has some good malty notes - nothing really jumps out about it though - just a good smooth drinking ale - would be good for session purposes. Verging on the edge of blandness. jimmack (1221), Nutley, New Jersey, USA

Smells and tastes of nuts and coffee. Watery finish. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
