| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2008 nice brown color, very carbonated on the tongue. Seemed to be lacking in body/flavor, it’s probably just the other great beers we had at the Ratebeer election party. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Just about the best brown ale I’ve ever had. Robust as fuckin hell. Beautiful in every way. Lots of bittering hops that are overwhelming at first then mellow into something incredibly pleasing. Just great. Snojerk321 (1943), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 18, 2008 Bottle. Thin brownish head over a dark brown opaque body. Aroma is very hoppy; grapefruit and pine. Also dry roasted malts and and coffee-beans. Dry malts, bitter chocolate, espresso and a good amount of bittering hops in the flavor. Salty notes. Medium body. Roasty and bitter finish. A powerful Brown ale... smells like an IPA and taste like a Dry Stout. jah noth (1015), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2008 Burnt caramel aroma and light toast. Brown in color with a THICK, frothy and rocky head. Light black malts, toffee, peanuts and a zing of spicy, citric hops. Slight sourness is a minor detractions, but otherwise a definitive craft brew. aplusbreaks (330), , Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 26, 2008 16.9oz bottle. Pours a deep amber reddish brown with a sizeable lght tan head that lasts nicely throughout. Great lacing to boot. Aromas of nutty malts, bready yeast, and a touch of floral hops. Flavors are well balanced, nutty malt flavors intermingle with some hops. This reminds me of Mikkeller’s All others pale, in the fact they are both BIG, and very nicely balanced. I am growing VERY found of this brewery! radiomgb (1957), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Deep brown in colour with a long lasting beige coloured head, good lacing. The aroma is malty, roasty, some chocolate, nuts, a bit dusty, lightly sweet. The flavour is of roasted malts, toasty, chocolate, some coffee, moderate sweetness. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, some light bitterness but a bit more on the sweet side.
This was tasty for sure, very nice roast for a brown ale. This just goes to show that an everyday type of beer can have lots of flavour and be quite enjoyable.
