| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 13, 2002 I had to adjust the score. Tried one today. Not quite the same. Less malt. Crisp, clean finish. Better balance than before. They have a new brewmaster. Today’s taste was not an improvement.
This beer rocks.
A beautiful amber hue. A very malty and nutty nose. Malty, but not sweet. Perfectly balanced. Did I mention MALTY? A perfect brown ale. Braudog (3782), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 15, 2007 Draft at the brewpub. Dark roasty brown with a thin but firm tan top. Nice and full-bodied, moderately nutty with a solid malt base. Perfect accent of lightest bitter finish. Hint of smoke, too.(#2656, 1/15/07) Aurelius (2655), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

Cereal, grassy nut flavor, lightly tart, medium-light sweetness with a roasty underpinning. Medium-heavy mouth, roasty, tart finish. Kudos to the brewmaster, well done. dlovell2 (146), Columbia, Maryland, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 11, 2004 Cask conditioned with a murky brown appearance, small head and little lacing. Spicy aroma with hints of toffee. Sweet malt taste with a barely noticable hop presence. Spices reappear in the finish. Derek881 (502), Frederick, Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 20, 2007 Served at the restaurant in a pint glass, the beer had a rich brown color with a faint red tint. It was dark and cloudy with a small, creamy tan head. The aroma was malt dominated with roasty and toasty nut malt and a touch of caramel. It had a creamy, fizzy mouthfeel and a wet body. The taste was not too sweet, more of a bitter feel with a slight sour edge. A solid nut brown ale, but not the brewery’s specialty. hellbilly (1566), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
