| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Bottle thanks to nuplastikk sampled on 7/26/09: Pours a transparent deep copper amber with a wispy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of toasty dark caramel malts with a touch of light fruits and graininess. Starts with lots of effervescence and average body along with light caramel and strawberry sweetness before a drier fizzy finish. Doesn’t have much nut brown character to it and could use a little more body. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Sep 15, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy with a frothy top bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent typically carbonated copper brown colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was malty and toffee. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish with a acectyl aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of malt and toffee. There was something slightly off tasting in the flavor I did not care for. Not one that I would likely buy again. MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 3, 2009 Sample from 12 oz bottle. Very nutty slightly sour aroma with caramel and roast. Light brown slightly cloudy. Flavor is quite nutty with roast and chocolate and light sour astringency. Very dry. Dry nutty finish. biznizness (942), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 21, 2009 Wasn’t exactly packed with flavor, but I didn’t think it was as bad as the rating indicates. There was a little chocolate in there. Pretty good. Thanks to Chris for picking this one up in WV. golubj (1289), Sunnyvale, California, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 19, 2009 Bottle, thanks to alexanderj. Copper brown pour with a tiny bit of head. Aroma is bready and nutty and not fresh tasting caramel malt. Flavor is the same, sorta watery and soda-like. I don’t like brown ales, and this is no exception.
