| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 15, 2007 June 2005 - Blah. It looked pretty, but I like to drink ’em, not look at ’em. Poured nice rich red color, clear as day and left nice lacing on the glass. There wasn’t a lot of taste in this one, though, and what was there was bitter (not hop bitter, just...um...bitter). Oh well, at least I can say I tried. prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 8, 2007 Almost as good as Bass. Goes well with lots of foods, particularly pub foods that bring out its underlying spiciness. shalloWMeans (160), Independence, Kentucky, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 11, 2007 Updated: Mar 9, 2009I had this one on tap at the Beer Sellar in Newport, KY. It was a lot lighter than I expected, almost toffee in color. The smell and taste were both caramelly and rather spicy, I definitely detected cloves. The taste was surprising and Im pretty sure was a little off due to problems with the tap or something. I’ve never seen a beer look so cloudy before (besides an unfilterted hefeweizen of course). Overall, I did enjoy it but I know I’m going to resample this soon out of a bottle or a cleaner tap system. (Re-rated 3/10/09-) This time I got to try it bottled and I was definitely much more impressed. Wonderful session bitter with a nice sweetish malty taste and appetizing finish. Still not the best ever, but I am glad I gave this another chance, and have definitely decided not to rate anything from the Beer Sellar’s dirty drafts again. I realize now just how OFF those flavors were when I originally tryed it. (Overall: The Beer Sellar- View:10, Selection:9, Freshness: 1) puboflyons (610), New Hampshire, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 29, 2007 It looked more red than brown to me, which I didn’t expect. Not a lot of head. A sweet tasting brew but a little watered down for my liking in a bItter. Reasonably satisfying but nothing out of the ordinary. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2007 Pours a medium slightly hazy amber with a small head. Moderate carbonation upon pour. Aroma is malts, corn, light roast. Flavor is full bitter malts, caramel, and some nuttiness. Bitter and dry finish. spector (906), Lancaster, Ohio, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 17, 2007 Light caramel malt aroma. Copper colored with a medium palate. Not a lot of flavor here at all. Caramel malts, and really no bitterness to speak of--could be an older bottle.
