| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Deep hazy rich brown coloured body with a darker tint and a thinnish tan head. Aroma of fresh malt - good nuts, alcohol and even a decent dose of hops. Medium-bodied; Sharp malty flavour with some pit fruit tastes in the forefront that taste well and show sweetness. Aftertaste fades to nuttiness, malt and a light caramel flavour. Almost no hops at all to speak of. Overall, a decent brown, but since this isn’t my style, I can’t say it’s amazing. Worth trying if you like the style since it wasn’t bad in any respect - tough to say for a lot of the beers in this style! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Durham, North Carolina on 31-August-2008. pintocb (511), Darsville, Georgia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 15, 2008 On tap at Schroder’s New Deli in Rome, GA. Not often do I get to have a beer at lunch on Monday, but since I was on jury duty rather than teaching kiddies I splurged. This brew looks brown and mostly opaque in my glass with a short, white head. Lots of nuts and oats and cookies in the nose. The flavor is roasted malts, some oak, chocolate and a hint of soy at the finish. Very light bodied. nearbeer (1842), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

Clear chestnut colored body with a miniscule crown that tries to last. Aroma is coffee with toasted nut, light cocoa and oats. Flavor is a nice earthy blend of the same elements. Light-medium body is watery and too fizzy, but finishes nicely dry. Brewbie (226), New York, USA

Pours a clear brown color with a small whitish head. The aroma is moderately sweet, nutty, with some caramel malt. The flavor is a nice mix of moderately sweet malt, chocolate, light nuts, and a small amount of bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied. Very drinkable for a style I usually don’t enjoy too much. ucusty (1900), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
