| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Jun 8, 2007 12 oz brown bottle had two lids on it! Get em off and there is a beery cleanish choclate and wet rag, roast aroma. For a dark beer, not bad. Tase comes across slightly bitter with attempts of offensiveness, but never quite gets there. A little more personality than my girlie taste buds care for. Interesting charcoal chewyness to the finish. That feeling continues for a few minutes after each gulp. East End Fat Gary Nut Brown Ale is much more mild and many times more enjoyable than this. On par with Abita Turbodog and Pete’s Wicked. Slightly better than Saranac brown ale.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 26, 2007 Bottle. Poured deep brownish-red, slight tan head, little carbonation. Aroma of roasted nuts, chocolate, caramel, coffee. Smooth flavor with hints of nuts, coffee, and a slightly bitter finish. A nice brown ale. TomDecapolis (3203), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 24, 2007 Pours a lightly hazy brownish amber with ruby highlights and a medium creamy off white lacing head. Aroma had lots of various nuts (hazelnut, peanuts, almonds) with some chocolate and rich espresso. Flavor was a nice nutty, roasted malt with some chocolate and coffee with cream and sugar. One of the beer brown ales I have had. Drink4Satan (586), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 23, 2007 Pours a clear chocolate amber colour with a finger thick tan head that fades to a thin coating of froth. The smell is heavy in caramel, malt, nut, and some chocolate with some vinous notes, too. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy from start to finish. The taste is chocolately, yet slightly acidic, with hints of hazelnut and lots of caramel malt. I feel this is an underated brown ale even though brown ales are generally weak. It’s sugary sweetness is ok here, though I agree sometimes when beers are to sweet they’re just plain offensive. Whatever.
