| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 4, 2005 Bottle: Dark brown, very minimal head, fades quickly, spotty lacing... almost seems still.   Roasty malt aroma, subtle chocolate, apple skin.   Heavier roasted malts on the tongue, moreso slightly burnt, spritzy, but flavor fades quickly.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Finish is very light, flavors fade quickly, leaving only a slight roasted malt finish.   Too light, and not lively at all.   Not bad, just not very interesting.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 3, 2005 375 ml bottle. Dark brown beer with a thin white head. Light yeasty aroma and a bit of pale malt. Fruity yeast shows through along with some toasted malts. Light caramel. Tastes better than it smells. Oakes (8093), gone rambling, Vietnam
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 2, 2005 Nut brown colour. Malty, nutty aroma. Body is thin, with a vague nuttiness and a metallic finish. Drinkable, but weak. DuffMan (2763), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 14, 2005 Dark brown, tan head that faded fast, no lace. Not much for aroma, maybe a little roasted malt. Straightforward bitter-toffee roasted malt palate, but no real character (maybe its because I had mine from the bottle, but I didn’t find a hint of chocolate). The carbonation makes it feel a little thin bodied. Not bad, just not much character. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jun 23, 2005 Very weak effort. What does this beer want to be? To much carbonation, and not ’nuff flavor! tbarnette (105), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 23, 2005 Not a bad dark, but I prefer Guiness. This pours and fizzes like a soda instead of a nice thick dark.. Cornfield (4945), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 16, 2005 This is a very drinkable brew. Mahogany with reddish highlights and a brief-lived bubbly tan head, it’s got a chocolatey, light roasted malt aroma. Nicely carbonated, the aroma is repeated in the flavor, and it slides down real easily. A simple, satisfying brown ale.
