| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 26, 2003 Clear dark brown body with small head. Aroma and taste are moderately sweet and malty -- nutty, toasted, caramel/toffee. Bitterness is minimal, but is there at the finish for balance. Medium body. Nice brown ale. hopscotch (5507), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Nov 30, 2004 Crystal clear, dark caramel ale with a small, quickly diminishing head. No lacing. Funky aroma is a mix of rootbeer, ginger ale, cola and chocolate. The flavor pretty much matches the aroma. Kind of funky, but not totally unpleasant. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and pillow-soft carbonation. Lengthy, lightly pungent, chocolatey finish. Nuffield (2724), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 9, 2003 This was my favorite of the brews here. Smooth, malty, chocolately...all very well done. michael-pollack (2718), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 26, 2004 Dull brown rootbeer clear color, no head. Light malt character with some tanginess, not a lot of hops. Pretty watery and unremarkable, though not the worst brown ale I’ve had. Drew (2410), Kent, Ohio, USA

Nice thick palate, great lacing. Taste was smooth and nutty sweet with just the right balance of hops for a clean dry finish. Now this is a good beer to drink in a church!!

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 12, 2003 Pours with a dark brown body topped by a medium thick head with good lace left on the glass. Sweet nutty malt aroma with a very slight hoppiness. Sweet and slightly fruity malt flavor with a good maltiness and hints of hops. Medium bodied and smooth with a touch of dryness. aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 6, 2004 On straight tap: Hazy dark brown. Light body and flavor, but a good nuttiness. There’s a slight citrus-rind bitterness in the finish.
Cask conditioned: MUCH better. The chocolate malt comes out and it improves the body 100 fold. This beer was meant to be served warm.
