| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 20, 2008 500ml from Bruisin Ales, Asheville, delivered to me by the great Turdferguson - thanks, Sam! Nice full pour with lots of lively carbonation, and an impressive cafe au lait head on it. The aroma is very roasty and the flavor’s a complex take on a hoppy brown, with some fruits in there, bitter chocolate, some modest coffee. Well done. ryan (1780), Beltsville, Maryland, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 26, 2008 Bottle from Kan. Pours hazy brown with some red hues. Big egg shell head that ain’t fading anytime soon. Big blast of pine scented aroma hops, along with a hint of coffee and nuttiness. The flavor is all hops to me as well. Long grass bitter finish as well. Where in the hell is the malt? Med/light body. Average carbonation. Dry finish. This beer could be so much more with a bit of malt flavor. sneagrams3 (1759), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Tasted 7/14/08. 22oz bomber. Hazy with a brown hue. Finger width of beige head. Noticeably hoppy nose. Piney and citrus with cocoa and dark chocolate. Touch of dark berries. On the fuller side of medium bodied with a lingering hop bitterness. Dark chocolate and acidic malts. This is bitter upon bitter. Mild carbonation, but the hops still leave a tingle on the tongue. Hits and rolls over the palate. Chocolate and coffee malts and a big hop presence. This is very nice. A big hoppy brown! tarjei (1753), Bryne, Norway
