| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 19, 2009 22 oz bottle courtesy of my friends from NH. Deep amber-brown pour. The nose is lightly toasty with a very clean, lagered character. A little bit of light noble hop character and a kiss of caramel. Clean and well constructed. I’d prefer it with more crackery malts and less sweet caramel, but it’s pretty good really. mcox90 (633), Wilton, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 18, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark copper color, like an old penny, with a 1/2" off white head that rapidly recedes. Aroma is malty with a subtle hint of chocolate and caramel. Solid palate with average amount of carbonation. Flavor is all malt with a minor hop background. Good for the money. $2.99 at a local convienence store. BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 17, 2009 22oz bomber purchased at McKinnon’s in Salem, NH. Pours a hazy dark copper color with a short-lived quarter inch of light khaki head. Aroma hints at chocolate, toffee, and brown sugar. Roasty chocolate/coffee is immediately noticeable with some undertones of some brown sugar-like sweetness. Caramel and toffee notes also help balance the flavor, with some very slight notes or grassy and floral hops. An easy drinker with medium body and carbonation. Subdued, but balanced and an easy drinker for sure. A solid brew.
