| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 17, 2007 Tap @ Brewpub: Caramel bronze color, light head and nice lacing. Nose of dry husky caramel and light spice. The flavor is thin and starchy, floral hops in the tail. Kinda lame actually. Nothing like a BSA. jake65 (1722), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2007 Draft at the Brewpub: Brownish copper pour with a large beige head and nice lacing. Nose is malty and earthy, some sweetness as well. The taste is rich with maltiness, caramel, light bitters, and rye. Even a little smoky. Thought this was one of the pub’s better ales.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 3, 2006 Darker amber. Aroma is caramel, darker fruits, hint of darker malts and hops. Sorta reminded me an American style old ale, if there is such a thing. Definitely not a real English feel here. Decent to drink, but overall not that exciting. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 21, 2006 Orangeish amber appearance, with a big off white head. Malty and almost smoky, with some big fruitiness as well. Astringent with some soapy hoppiness, cereal maltiness. Woody and weak, and not very tasty at all. DarkElf (2681), La Jolla, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2005 (Draft: Bend Brewing Company in Bend, OR) Though called an old ale, this is NOT an old ale in the usual sense. While it is very flavorful, it’s more just a big amber ale, sweet, very fruity, caramely, malty and gently roasty, and moderately bitter. Sweet and caramely nose seems to match well with the flavor. Medium body, but sweet and malty enough for a long, substantial mouthfeel. The color is dark amber, and it’s topped by a small, light tan head that fades to a small rim and leaves a bit of patchy lacing. I feel mislead with the beer name, but once over the duping, this is actually a pretty nice beer. IndianaRed (1555), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 12, 2005 On Tap at the brewpub. Deep redish brown with a fairly full off white creamy head. Rich woody aromas and flavor. Moderately heavy feel and a slightly bitter finish. Tasty baobubba (446), Corvallis, Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 1, 2004 Had this one from the tap and growler. Maroon/amber body with a fairly thick head. Malty flavor with lots of on the darkish side of caramel flavors. Maybe overdone cotton candy. Good stuff anyhow. Travels well too. Reid (1090), Salem, Oregon, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 16, 2004 Served on tap at the Bend Brewery in Bend Oregon.
A quite nice looking "pint".Slightly hazy, chesnut brown, nice sized light tan head.
Quite hoopy aroma to this, I think my nose is "bust" I cant get much more.
This tastes like a robust, toasty brown ale..some dark coffee flavours too.
Quite nice on the palte , perhaps a wee bit on the watery side.
A nice beer it goes down very easily.
