| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. On the label there is a best before date.
Appearance: The body has a dark mahogany color with a light tan head on top. The head quickly fades down to just a ring on bubbles around the edge of the glass. The lacing is mostly slick and slides down the glass with just a little bit sticking to the glass.
Smell: The aroma sweet with hints of roasted and toasted malt.
Taste/Mouth Feel: Up front the flavor has a nice sweet bready malt with hints of roasted barley, caramel and toffee. The hop flavor is mellow but adds very good balance to the finish. It has a big round and smooth texture with soft carbonation and a solid medium to full body.
Notes: Over all this is one very tasty brown Ale.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 19, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours mahogany with long lasting off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, bread and brown sugar. Light to medium body. Flavor of earthy hops that are balanced by sweet fruity malt. Some coffee and citrusy notes are in the background. Finish is long well balanced and pleasant. One of my favorite browns.
