| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Mar 18, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours clear amber. Head is minimal and off white. Smells of malt, slightly roasted, hay, and some spice. Taste is earthy, nutty, malty, and a little caramely. Pretty thin texture. Not very impressed. WabashMan (814), Noblesville, Indiana, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 12, 2009 "Subtlety"...so says the commercial description. To my mind (and palate), that translates as "weak in flavor...kind of watery". And sadly so. Ambers can make such wonderful sessions beers, and a good one has such nice, caramely malt flavors. They’re still here...just watered down. bu11zeye (5603), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 11, 2009 (Bottle) Pours a clear amber body with a small beige head. Aroma of nuts, cocoa, roasted malt, grain, and subtle pumpkin spice. Flavor of caramel, roasted malt, and nuts. Pawola22 (778), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 11, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a clear, brown body with a thin, creamy white head. Faint aroma of caramels and light hops. Maybe a little sweet fruit hint, but really nothing going on in the nose. Flavor is pretty similar with maybe a bit more nut taste to it. Palate is soft and watery. Overall, not a very exciting beer. Blah. gringo332 (243), Richardson, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Feb 28, 2009 The flavor had caramel and fruity notes at the core, again with leafy accents around.. finished dry with more of the same. Light-medium bodied with an OK feel, but was rather empty across the middle.. very clean. sebletitje (1925), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 25, 2009 bottle in mix 12 pack.
Pours amber with off white head.
Aroma is grainy, some pine hops.
Taste is malty, light touch of nuts, light caramel with possible cocoa and a bitter chocolaty finish.
A lot better than what the overall rating shows.
Have yet to have anything by Breckenridhe that disappoints me.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 23, 2009 Bomber. Poured medium amber with a short cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up toasted caramel and nutty notes with crisp floral and leafy accents.. soft overall and nicely balanced. The flavor had caramel and fruity notes at the core, again with leafy accents around.. finished dry with more of the same. Light-medium bodied with an OK feel, but was rather empty across the middle.. very clean. dwaggs2 (560), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA
