Great tasting brown ale with a slight chocolate feel. furious (9), South Carolina, USA does not count | 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 30, 2009 I had this at a restaurant. It is easily one of my favorite beers - granted I’m no beer expert and haven’t tried too many yet. Very smooth. Wilecat (66), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jul 15, 2002 Good overall but a little light for my taste. Good aroma and a nice slightly burnt taste. ericnixon (719), Northampton, Massachusetts, USA

Sweet and oakey with a somewhat bready dimension to it.

Not too hoppy at all, and with a taste similar to a Scotch Ale, but without the overpowering sweet finish. Highly recommended. bigant1270 (1), USA does not count | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2006 I received this as part of my Beer of the Month Club. Nice brown color with a pretty good nice brown head. Nice chocolate aroma and flavor. Definitely a nice classic brown ale. Skeegle (503), Maryland, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 15, 2008 Updated: Feb 24, 2009Fantastic beer. This is the most nutty ale I have ever had. It absolutely REEKS of sunflowerseeds, and the resulting flavor is wonderfully salty, full bodied, and nutty with hints of cocoa Old Bay. This beer was fantastic, I was shocked at how delicious it was considering its 64% rating. This may be my new sub $7 staple beer. blowtorch (13), North Carolina, USA

I found it to have a very refreshing taste, and thought it was quite rich and bold. Like some of the other reviewers, I also noticed a hint of chocolate.
