| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 8, 2008 12oz bottle. Very dark brown with a medium beige head. Nutty and roasty aroma. Roasty and rich aroma is very porterish. Medium body with medium carbonation. Pretty full and roasty for a brown, or a pretty smooth porter... either way, its pretty nice. antisnobJP (275), St. Michael, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 31, 2007 Bottle. Mahogany with a thin tan head. Sweet, nutty and roasted malt aromas similar to a sweet stout. Aroma is rather faint. Flavors are similar, not much roasted malt flavor, but definitely nutty and sweet with a little "I’m drinking an amber ale while smoking a maduro cigar" quality. Actually, it reminds me of the current version of Goose Island Nut Brown- isn’t that odd? emacgee (1884), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

The aroma was sweet, malty, had some roasted grain, and a little bit of a corn taste. The flavor was sweet, a little crisp hop, malty, a little thin. The palate was thin and it had little of a finish. glaze0101 (79), USA
