| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 27, 2008 A great brown ale, definitely one of the best that I have had in a long time. Rich and well-layered on the palate, with some creamy chocolate, a bit of roastiness, with some sweet toffee and a somewhat salty nuttiness. Hops are approachable, giving a welcome bitterness in the finish. beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA

Pours a rich mahogany, very clear, with a tall fluffy off-white head. This was one of the more flavorful and full bodied browns I have had in a while. Nutty malt sweetness up front, nice toastiness to it, finishing with a smooth balanced end. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2000 Nice to have friends that live in Portland and Seattle respectively, nice that they visit Phoenix on a regular basis, so they can bring these beers. Nice and malty, decent hop bite, not a favorite, but good none the less. Zach Diesel (907), Portland, Oregon, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 29, 2005 Bottle Pours a clear deep redish brown witha nice foamy light tan head. Nutty woody slightly sour aroma No surprises in the flavors. Low on the hops like a brown should be and a littel sweet. Nutty and soft with a fairly lifely fizz. Clean slightly dry finish and very drinkable.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 4, 2005 Bottle: Brownish dark copper, slight haze, lots of sediment (odd for a Deschutes brew), large foamy light beige head, fairly nice lacing.   Toasted malts, nutty, very faint dark chocolate or cocoa like bitterness.   Smooth nutty flavor, malty of the toasted kind, a hint of sweetness, with a very slight cocoa like bitterness at the finish.   Body and mouthfeel are light, but pleasing in this hot weather.   Not big nor robust, but very palatable and quite enjoyable.
