Aroma was of weak malts and plenty of skunk. Almost black in appearance with a beige head. medium palate. Very tangy, sour flavor. Plan on re-rating with a fresh sample. SHIG (2037), Aviano, Italy
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 28, 2007 Bottle: Poured a dark brown almost black with a thick tan color head. Sweet harvest and nut aroma. Taste was of malty nut flavor with hoppy finish. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Dec 19, 2006 12 oz bottle via Mystery Swap (thanks Degarth!). Pours a dark dark brown with an average tan head. Lots of lacing as the head dissipates. Nose is of citrus hops and some nuttiness. Taste is the same with some roasted malts and hazlenuts coming through under the hops.... Very hoppy for a brown Ale. Hoppiest one if have had. Almost makes this a completely unique style. Can’t say i care for it that much but is worth a try. Moderate carbonation and medium body on this one. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 13, 2006 Looks like cola - frothy, light tan head. Metallic, slightly hoppy aroma - some brown sugar and molasses. Very malty. Matly finish, fillled with cocoa notes, dry and roasty. Decent amber. notalush (2683), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 13, 2006 Bottle from santa - dark amber pour with a frothy head - fairly nutty, typical brown ale aroma - fairly inviting - very hoppy and herbal up front - the hoppiness subsides, leaving a semi-dry, cocoa and hazelnut quality - pretty nice for the style - quite under-rated. footbalm (1219), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 2, 2006 Bottle from Brock_Landers. Enjoyed...yes,at the beach,literally. Watched another great sunset while sipping on this. Had a slight malty taste with a bit of caramel sweetness but overall.. a run of the mill brew. badgerben (3605), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2006 Deep brown, damn near black color, with a medium head. Dry malt with a slightly grapey aroma. Very sweet brew with a tangy finish. A little to sugary for my tastes, but not terrible. zach8270 (2129), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 9, 2006 (bottle - 16 oz) Dark brown pour with a very thin tan head. As you look through it, you see red highlights. Aroma is very light and nutty with some sweetness and chocolate malts. Flavor is very sweet and wine-like at the beginning with some flavors of dark fruits and some wine. Middle is very malty with some bittersweet chocolate and a very watery finish. Aftertaste is cloyingly sweet and very dark. Thin and watery.
