| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 11, 2004 Dark brown with small head and lacing, aroma is of chocolate, caramel and some malt. Medium-bodied with slight bitter but somewhat sweet taste. Not bad, but I’m pretty sure there’s better brown ales out there. unclebleen (620), California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 20, 2004 Much like most brown ale’s I’ve had to date. Brown color with very small non-lacing head. Aroma and flavor are sweet caramel and malt. Smooth body. Little interesting or challenging about this beer. But not bad. pantani (1902), Salinas, California, USA

Just like the other browns I have had, alot like Sam Smith Nut Brown. DanielBrown (1919), Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 12, 2004 Draught at Karl Strauss/Old Columbia Grill, San Diego. Smells like my Los Angeles hotel room (details available on request) - doggy. Brownish, with a ring of froth which sticks to the glass somewhat. Tasty Brown ale - chocolate, cream, nuts, coffee - lots of flavours intermingling & overlapping, well into the aftertaste. Varied, yet soft, light and refreshing. Another of the good KS beers.
