| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 20/20 | Jun 16, 2006 Pours dark coffee brown with a shallow creamy froth. Smells of fresh hops like an IPA. Medium nectar weight with ample residual effers. Flavors are dry with a big fresh hoppy bitterness on the finish. Well ballanced. Hoppy for a brown. The leather and cocoa are almost nonexist. Excellent indeed. not malty at all. A well balanced session brew. Highly recommended. Damico (177), Norristown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Oct 26, 2009 Faintly sweet, malty brown ale aroma in this brew. The appearance is clear brown with a small head. This is one of the most delicious brown ales ever, so clean and crisp on the palate, but rich with flavor at the same time. The subtle flavor of the chocolate malts come through, but not sweet, just pure. keoki182 (305), West Bend, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 10, 2006 Pours a deep dark brown with tan head. Chocolate/nutty/roasted malt aroma, similar flavor. Very strong coffee notes as well. A bit too easy to quaff, one of my favorite beers ever. lumpsowers (252), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jan 22, 2008 Currently my favorite American Brown Ale.
Pours a clear Coca-Cola color in the glass. I have described the nose as "brown" -- hops and malted grains mixed to near-perfection. On the tongue, it’s a bit sweet perhaps, but truly great. A smooth, heavenly finish that has in the past moved me to remark, "This is beer!" mrdeath5493 (108), Arkansas, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jan 30, 2007 Dark ruby and just clear enough to see through. Palate was much creamier than I expected. There was a copmplex malt character revealing fruity, slightly sweet notes. Nice brown ale.
