| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 1, 2009 Pours a very dark brown with the slightest ruby tint. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, fruity esters and hints of grapefruit and lemon hops. Flavor is an excellent balance of roasty barley, chocolate, hints of coffee, and a tad of fruityness. Palate is slightly thin, but most excellent for the style. Very nice. marcus (1900), Sacramento, California, USA

Creamy feel and medium body with slightly sweet malt finish. Lacks hop bite and nutty toasty malt. Solid fare. fluffy (229), Florida, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 29, 2009 Pours a clear dark chocolatey brown with a fair amount of head and good retention.
Smells of hops, malts, and funk.
Tastes of pure bliss, malts, moasis, funky-freshness.
Felt a bit flat on the tongue, but otherwsie solid.
I want to drink more and more of this. I believe this has just become my preferred Brown Ale (unless I find something even more amazing).

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 27, 2009 pours crystal dark brown with a 2 finger head that fades very fast but leaves notches all down the glass. not much nose on this one but some faint grassy hops. upfront with the bitter hops then moves to sweet roasted malts. mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. if you enjoy a nice sessionable brown this is a great full flavored beer. i could put down several anytime of year
