| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Pours amber / brown with a rich tan head. The aroma has roasted nutty malt, coffee notes and dark butterscotch. Medium / thin body with a light amount of sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with sweet nutty malt, caramel, some cardboard, pepper and a fairly biting aspect. The finish is pretty bland. This was not very enjoyable, but I don’t know if it is the brewers fault since I don’t know the age of the bottle. This will be rerated if I can get a known fresh bottle. jjuf1853 (482), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 8, 2008 On tap at Bar Louie (Tampa, FL). Pours a rich mohagany/brown with a tan head. Sweet malt aroma with a hint of hops and slight nuttiness. Flavors include caramel, brown sugar, roasted malts, and hops. Very smooth and drinkable. esjaygee (1600), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Clear light brown with a quickly diminishing off-white head. Aroma of mild caramel, nuts and toffee. Taste is more of the same, a little thin. Maybe a step up from Newcastle, but nothing to write home about. Brewsmith (136), Torrance, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 29, 2008 From a 22 oz. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is malty with a slight hint of roast. Color is brown with some red highlights. Small tan head that fades quickly. Brilliantly clear. Flavor is toasty with hop bitterness. Malt comes through with a little roast in the back end. Fairly dry with a medium body and very balanced. chokmah33 (118), San Luis Obispo, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 21, 2008 Sweet charcoal aroma. Skunky, wet, moldy vegetation. Deep roasted malt notes.
Woodsy coffee flavor reminesent of a porter. Minor licorice notes. Gets nutty in the finish; walnuts and almonds. some fruitiness comes out as it warms.
Palate is uninspiring.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 15, 2008 Awesome American Brown Ale. Rich and malty with roated, nutty undertones. Finishes slightly hoppy and sweet - a real treat!
