| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2007 Malty pilsner style aroma. Cola brown color with a foamy tan head. Roasted malt flavor with sweet dried fruit and burnt toast notes. Light acidic bite on the palate, well carbonated with a watery body. Well balanced and smooth overall with a lightly bitter finish. Easy to drink and non-filling. GeneralGao (3073), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 7, 2007 12 oz bottle. Poured a clear brown-orange color. Head was off white and reduced slowly to a thin film. Aroma was of toffee and graham cracker. Very nutty flavor reminiscent of peanuts with some toasted bread and a hint of dried fruit. Decent beer which is flavorful and non-offensive. troyc (1175), Lubbock, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 5, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a dark brown color with a small amount of head. Slight aroma of roasted malts and toffee. Taste is of burnt caramel, mild coffee, hazelnut and light cocoa. The body isn’t too think, which increases drinkability (but not enjoyment). A good beer, but could have been better if it had a little more body to it. sneagrams3 (1762), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2007 12oz bottle. Nice pour. Filtered yet bubbling. Finger plus of creamy beige head. Body is dark amber hued. Roasty bready toasty aroma. Mildly spicy. Medium bodied with a smooth toffee malt flavor. Touch thin, but good flavor. Heard somebody earlier mention session? Yep! Mild malts, but smooth and tasty. Everything is tame but flavorful. Nothing overt, but every mild nuance is well blended with the next mild nuance...Caramel into nutty, sweet into sticky. toast into cookie. Mild citrus into cocoa. Really well balanced. This is a daytime dark beer. Great head retention. Finish is spicy and bitter. Once again, mildly dry. And again I stress, mild does not mean bad...just easy. Lively enough for potential fruit (thou I am against it...) in the afternoon, but...actually, i’ll end it there. Porch Park Sun-Up Beer. BDR (2170), Roseville, Minnesota, USA

Aroma of grains and caramel. Tastes nutty, grainy with sweet caramel. A little hops bitterness. Nice and nutty, and altogether not bad. BustedFlat (554), Edina, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 30, 2007 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass, deep amber with a medium tan head. Aroma was of roast malt with hints of coffee and chocolate. The flavor was of roast malt and sweet with notes of dark chocolate and caramel. Reminds me of a dopplebock. Would male a very nice session beer.
