| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 7, 2008 The smell was almost wine-like, which I liked. Dark roasted malts and a very hoppy and nutty flavor. blindeyedbetty (151), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 31, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Aroma strong with malts and nutty, almost warm woodsy smells. Dark rich amber in appearance with medium body and frothy, fluffy, large off-white head. Flavors of dry caramel, but not as sweet, with roasted nut. Front palate is wetter with a more barley-grain taste, mid palate is earthy again and this beer finishes with a nice malty aftertaste. Low hoppy flavor in mid palate. Would pair well with a roasted animal such as duck, turkey, beef or buffalo or a heavier squash risotto dish. Foxbush (458), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 30, 2007 The brown ales as a group are generally not my first choice. Green Flash as a brewry has made some ecellent IPAS. This was the 8th beer of Christmas 2007. I had earlier in the week one of their IPOAS which was excellent. The brown ale was of medium body and nutty malt flavors. The ale poured a dark brown with slight head. Funknmilla (593), Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 11, 2007 One of only a few slightly boring beers from Green Flash. Poured a deep brown that was slightly amber) with an average off-white head. Roasty, nutty nose with a mild hint of sweetness and bitterness. Bland yet session-worthy.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 4, 2007 Pours reddish - dark brown, a little murky with a medium tan head. Smells sweet roasted malt, nutty and a touch of cola. Nice smooth feel, but it could be a bit fuller. Taste is toasty, nutty malt with a nice hop bitterness, The flavor is not especially intense but this is well balanced and quite drinkable. Solid, sessionable ale. bag (103), Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Dec 1, 2007 I was excited when I popped the bottle open ad caught the nice malty aroma. Other than that, this beer is completely underwhelming. It’s low on flavor and almost seems like a weak light beer. It’s definitely not a turn off (i.e. I’d drink it again if it was in front of me), but I just won’t expect much more than a chugging beer..
