| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Bottle from family in the area. Poured clear dark redish brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of sweet malt, spice. Taste is nicely sweet with spice and a sticky sweetness that goes beyond typical malt, probably molases. Spice was pleasant. Really an interesting brew. Mouth was sticky and coating. Overall, a decent ale. adrian910ss (1424), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Dry toasty caraway spice nose. Tastes semi-dry with lots of caraway and rye flavor before a bready dry finish. An interesting brew but could use more sweetness. Slipstream (760), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 9, 2009 Updated: Oct 27, 2009An interesting historical brew, based on old recipes from colonial Maryland. Nice mahogany pour. Nose is floral and malty, with a little toast too. Mild, toasted rye flavor with a bit of sweetness and a dry finish. Overall feel is like a fairly light, but still tasty amber. An unusual and enjoyable brew. scraff (1942), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2009 Bottle - The Wine Source. Dark copper, thick lightly tanned head. Soft molasses and spicy rye notes warm to light swirls of earthy caramel. Soft bitter rye and spice flavors balance well on a touch of toffee grains and earth. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, lightly spiced finish. Well executed... arventresca (341), Greenville, North Carolina, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 16, 2009 Nice looking average ale. Living in Maryland, I wanted to like this more, but I couldn’t. It does have a nice spicy ryeness to it. With the sweetness you would expect from the ingredients. Not bad, but not really great either.
