| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2002 Pretty big "brown." Could be Java Porter’s little brother. Full bodied and pretty roasty. Has a sharpish alcohol nip, with a rounded burntness to match. Slight fruitiness in the hops. Astringent, sourish finish. Very interesting. waolsen (1223), Littleton, Colorado, USA

Fortunately this beer is better than the football team. black pour with thick tan foamy head. big nut, small smoke and sour malt aroma. Closer to a Porter than a brown. This is a sour bitch. nice nut and creamy mouth. That last line just sounds wrong. good brew. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
