| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 17, 2006 At best, I thought this was just an average brown ale with a few faults and little else. The aroma was a bit metallic like, some malt aroma and a slight bitterness like walnuts. Appearance was a nice dark brown with a nice thick head. Mouthfeel was a little harsh which turned me off a bit. Flavor was nutty but there was some toasted bread, and a mineral astringency which was not a tasty suprise at all.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 2, 2006 A dark brown appearance with a small beige head. A bit of honey, nutmeg, and caramel in the aroma. A nutty flavor with a hint of toffee and quite a bit of caramel and molasses. The aftertaste is syrupy in texture with a slight sour presence. Good mouthfeel on this one. A nicely done brown ale! altonbrownd (1912), Amsterdam, Netherlands
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 29, 2006 Bottle at Dan’s house. Easy brown ale with taste of caramel, chocolate, orange and cherry. Very creamy - similar in texture to Guinness. hezron (602), Viroqua, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 29, 2006 Aroma of toffee and caramel with some nutty coffee and a hint of pine hops. Dark brown in color with a thin, off-white head. Flavor is nice and nutty with lots of caramel in the long finish. Touch of roasted coffee, but it is very subtle. Just like the touch of pine and citrus hop character. Lighter body and an almost creamy texture. prone2xs (2), California, USA does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2006 I had this at the Yard House in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
