Pour was brown with a nice thick tan head which made me think it was closer to a stout at first. Flavor was nice, smooth malts with a nutty background. Palate was nice, even and smooth. Overall this was good with dinner. Cappadonna (104), Delray Beach, Florida, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 3, 2005 (BJCP Class) Strong malty nose with almost no hops to the aroma. A good dark brown off porter color. I get a hint of Carmel and Chocolate. A good beer to style and slight hops flavor. I like this ber but it needs more malt or hops either one to add to the flavor.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 28, 2005 probably the best brown ale i have ever had. Poured a dark brown color with a thick slightly off white head which had decent retention. Caramel malts on the nose mixed with some hops and yeast notes. Taste was mildly sweet with caramel it had a slight roasted coffee taste in the background and finished with a mild hop finish. A real smooth drink.
