| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 6, 2008 Pours a deep brown with a mid-sized off white head. Flavor is earthy with a back of the tongue dryness at the finish. Malt character is prominent and a bit sweet. Milk chocolate comes to mind but in a subtle delivery. Nice session brew and more flavorful than many other browns. nearbeer (1886), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 29, 2008 12 oz. Garnet-mahogany and clear with a small but lasting head. Earthy brown sugar and spicy grain aroma. Flavor is cola, earthy molasses and grain, coffee, and some slight tart apple and cherry. Light-medium body is too fizzy with carbonation, and slightly dry.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2008 12 ounce bottle- poured out a translucent brown like a cola. The level of carbonation was also cola-like. Aroma was roasted hops with dry cherries or fruit. Taste was suprisingly sweet, but hard to identify. Not bad. hershiser2 (923), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

Coppery/metallic malts in the nose, hints of unsweetened chocolate. Flavor of roasted malts, bitter grasses, and a simle, plain somethingorother. Lotsa carbonation. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour. Dark brown, tan creamy head. Soft toasty milk chocolate nose with undertones of cocoa berry. Soft roasty chocolate flavor balances on a light earthed berry-like tone. Light bodied, soft carbonation, mild chocolate finish. Decent, but nothing special... blindeyedbetty (155), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 8, 2008 12 oz. bottle pours an opaque garnet-brown with thick off-white head. Malty aroma with buttery front palate, roasted, earthy middle palate and a mild finish of hops. Medium bodied. Lots of carbonation. I really wanted to like this beer a lot more than I did. Definitely drinkable but nothing extraordinary. tjthresh (1782), Greenfield, Indiana, USA

Just little bit of hops. Chocolate and nutty flavor with a balanced bitterness. Medium, but watery. High carbonation. Dry finish. Basic stuff. pintsize (1042), Austin, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 6, 2008 6-5-08 bottle shared with lb4lb thanks to jwale23
Amber brown with no real lasting head. Smell is light malt and peanuts. Flavor is watery malt - very watery, in fact. Highly carbonated and just too watery for me. Not very interesting or developed overall.
