| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 3, 2008 12 oz bottle in pint glass. Pours a DARK brown with a small tan head. Looks more like a Porter than your typical Brown Ale. Aroma is mainly chocolate, just like a Tootsie Roll. Flavor is really good, chocolate, mocha, and nuts. Palate is medium bodied, and fairly smooth. Finishes just a touch dry. Overall this is a very good, highly drinkable Brown Ale. I’ll certainly put some in the fridge.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Bottle: Deep and dark brown with a creamy head. Full, chewy texture (sounds like it’s drastically improved from the tap version). Rather tasty malt flavors had a lot of wholesome, earthy flavors. Chocolate, nuts, caramel and milky sweetness. A mild, grassy bitterness follows through. Finish is nice, and it begs you to take another sip. Pretty good brown. dwyerpg (2537), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jun 26, 2009 Pretty nutty aroma. Bown color. This is nutty, a little soapy, a little creamy. Some sweetness and a lot of nut flavor in the finish. Decent. VitaminR (434), Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 19, 2009 Choclate raisin nose. Blackish brown, with deep red hues. Chocolate syrup and honey sweetness, mild but appropriate bitter balance. Good carbonation, medium body, slight roasty chocolate finish. This was a bold brown with big flavors pushing the boundries of the style--which is great! Hophead22 (1090), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA

Dark brown pour with a small white head, not alot of carbonation. Smells bready, some sweet, dark malts as well. Very easy to drink, more dark, sweet malts. Not bad. aplusbreaks (330), , Colorado, USA

A bit sweet and lacking body.
