| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 9, 2008 Bottle (650ml) shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc, mabel & tupalev -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a hazy orange-copper with an average size diminishing off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, nuts, some fruit and faint hops. Flavour’s a bit watery, malty, a bit nutty and with a light bitter finish. Average bodied. Nothing special but nothing bad either, I enjoyed it. fiulijn (7460), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 28, 2008 Bottle (650ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, jerc, mabel and tupalev - my bottle via trade with puzzl. (best before December 07). Clear mahogany pour, smallish off-white head. Grain, light roast, mild dry hops. Somewhat syrupy taste, but grainy and lightly herbal - perhaps a tad dry. Light body, mildly astringent and quick-finishing - pretty decent - thanks, Greg. mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 6, 2002 Brown amber colored and having a nice mellow nut brown aroma with a touch of malt. I could not detect the malts advertised in the commercial description. This beer has light carmel overtones and a bit of a nutty taste. Furthermore, it is so smooth as seem to virtually lack any carbonation--a detracting point for me--but no doubt one that has made it local favorite. Oakes (8142), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 7, 2005 Hazy dark brown colour. Straightforward malty/hazelnutty aroma. Strange body - both full and thin, like you’d find in a nitro beer, but this was a firkin. I guess both have low carbo. No worries though, I’ll be at the brewery next month. The flavour is mainly about carastany malts and a light nuttiness. Doesn’t appear anything wrong with the beer, but a standard brown ale is just so uninspiring for me.
