| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 2, 2003 Well, it sure looks pretty in the glass. Nice label, too. You know what else I liked? The bottle cap. It was white with a red "left hand" to let you know what brewery made this beer. This beer was bottled on February 18, 2003. How about that? All the way from Longmont, CO to my belly in two weeks. Wow. I've told you everything exceptionable or noticeable about this beer. Very, um, inoffensive. michael-pollack (2719), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 7, 2006 Draught at Brewery: Malty aroma. Poured amber in color. Small, off-white head diminished. No lacing. Sparkling. Flavor was sweet, malty, and nutty. Light body. Average carbonation. Overall, eh. Kinda weak all around. Svesse (2683), Hässelby, Sweden
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 15, 2007 (Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, grainy nose with notes of dried fruit, caramel and hints of rubber. Malty taste with dark fruit, wild berries, cherries, caramel and hints of rubbery hops in a short finish. Low bitterness, slightly sweetish. Ok, but fairly middle-of-the-road-ish. nick76 (2676), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 18, 2008 The aroma is OK, its got hops which is not all that common for the style. It is quite metallic, with chocolate, toffee, malt and paper. The flavor is like the aroma but tastes watery and bad. The palate is this. Overall this is a disappointment. I would keep it under deep cover too. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 20, 2003 On the pour a cloudless deep mahogany to almost walnut in color, the head hefty in size with a bubbly texture, a winsome light tan in color, the lace forms a frothy sheet to cover the glass. Nut like sweetness with a hint of caramel, fresh and clean with the start sweet and nicely malted, top is skimpy in feel. Finish is bruising in its acidity, the hops mellow in their spiciness with the aftertaste droughty, drinkable, but not any thing special. Aurelius (2652), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 19, 2006 Big cherry chocolate cereal aroma. Clear, ruddy brown, fun label. Sunflower seeds, moderate plum/cherry ttanginess, lightly sweet. A crisp, clean drinking brew. I fear that I’m missing some of the darker tones to the beer, doing it back-to-back with a coffeeish stout. Sunflower seed finish. Distinct sunflower seeds. Medium-light body. A nice interpretation of a brown. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 23, 2006 Hazy deep amber body with a small frothy tan head. Sweet caramel and dark malt aroma. Sweet toffee, roasted nuts, caramel and some dark malt flavors. ChainGangGuy (2592), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 9, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, medium brown body with a frothy, off-white head.
Smell: Toasted breadcrusts, nuts, and some chocolate shavings. Light English hop notes.
Taste: Sweet, toasty Munich malts with a light nuttiness and touch of chocolate. Very, very light bitterness. Toasted caramel in the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Pleasant, easy drinking from this brown ale. I’d have drank more than one if I didn’t only have the one bottle. Oh well!
