| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 25, 2005 Pours with a dark brown body with red tinting topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with a nice roastiness and a touch of nuttiness. A pretty good brown. Medium bodied, smooth and slighlty dry. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 3, 2003 Nutty caramel flavor, extremely dark in color.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 13, 2004 Dark murky brown with a modest fast fading light brown head. Aroma is light and sweet with a hint of freshly brewed coffee. Flavor is sweet at the start followed by a hint of coffee/cocoa and finishing lightly tangy and dry. A tad thin on the palate, but a nice session brown. This is probably Callahans best brew. BrotherGrendel (600), San Diego, California, USA

Nose is very muted, slight nuts, malts, and vinegar. Taste is much better, bit roast and toast, walnuts and pecans, grassy hops. Medium-bodied with a light creamy texture and low carbonation.
