| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 2, 2008 Nice gold/amber pour. Nice 2 finger head, dissapates into a very thin lace. Initial taste of copper is there and gone in a second. Gives way to chocolate covered cashews, slightly dry finish. good beer but not a session beverage. HailSquishface (16), Ferndale, Michigan, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 1, 2008 Pours bright amber into my glass with lively carbonation and a nice fluffy white head.
Smells of caramel, a bit nutty, and kind of like old pennies.
Tastes a little fruity and nutty, with a dash of burnt sugar in the finish.
It’s okay but I wouldn’t go out of my way to try it. Metalhead (571), Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 31, 2008 Monster head in the pour. Not really a fan of the brown ales but it was in the sampler.
Very nutty with a semi harsh choco maltiness. "OK"
