Aroma of caramel, nuts, and a touch of brown sugar. Flavor is roasted nuts, caramel, chocolate without much hop presence. Medium bodied and creamy on the palate. Not bad. argo0 (7011), Washington DC, USA

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | May 19, 2006 Draft 5 oz sample at the brewpub, 5/14/06: Reddish brown with a roasty caramel nose. Despite the roasty aroma, the flavor is more sweet. Tasted like a malt ball. Papsoe (15109), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 24, 2006 (On tap) Beautiful, clear reddish brown with an off-white head. Malty nose with a vaguely burned edge. Medium-bodied with lots of roasted malt and a hint of nuts - perhaps even coffee. Dry finish. 300306 Aurelius (2655), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 21, 2006 Dark, clear brown. Mild coffeeish aroma. Fairly complex. Overall it gives a smooth coffee and cocoa impression. Some musky malts bordering on a mild ale. Mildly astringent. Creamy mouthfeel. Finish quite bitter. No fruit or grassiness as with many other browns. Lightly sweet, acidic without tartness. Pretty good. Kevin (1920), Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 13, 2006 Dark stained oak body with an off white head. Aroma is negligible, slight maltiness comes up, but it took a few minutes with my nose in the glass to get that, really a non entity here aroma wise for me. Nut flavor comes out quickly, pecan pie came to mind, then I thought mo, just pecans, it doesn’t have that syrup sweetness that pecan pie has. A semi sweet caramel background props up the nut flavor and the hop finish accentuates nicely. A touch of citrus kind of watery grapefruit really adds to this. A thin and watery mouthfeel, but that’s all right, all beers don’t all need to be viscous, this is a good beer.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 7, 2006 12 oz Bottle. Thanks to Spring Licker, I believe. Chestnut pour with big particles. Burnt caramel malt, hickory stick, and some kind of nut or nut shell in the aroma. Burnt and roasted malts. Malty with light sweetness (nutty?). Medium-thin body, very light sharpness, but lightly creamy. Not bad and not great. trafford (171), Germantown, Tennessee, USA
