Not a typical Brown Ale, much better. Strong hint of coffee aroma but very smooth. Highly recommend. topherh (940), Kearney, Missouri, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 25, 2008 Brown sugar reigns in the taste with a hint of hops to remind you that it is a beer. When craving an Indian brown ale, this one is a above average choice beerbrat99 (119), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown and almost porter like in color. No head and no lacing. Aroma of raisins, toffee, chocolate and mild coffee. The taste is similar with malt dominating the flavor. I sense very little hops in this beer. I think the low carbonation of this beer poses a problem for the overall taste experience. A beer that I was expecting much more from. ketchepillar (491), Des Moines/Grinnell, Iowa, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 23, 2008 Aroma: brown sugar & malt w/ a bit of anise and chocolate with a tinge raisiny wood and alcohol. Needs more hops in the aroma. Taste shows more bitterness mixed w/ darker malt bringing me back to Stone 11th Anniversary, although the similarities end there. Mouthfeel is smooth but slightly too thin. Seems pretty good when spliced up, but as a whole it fails to satiate me.
