Weak aroma overall with some brown sugar and sprucy hops. Flavor is nutty and earthy with brown sugar and a touch of sprucy hop flavor. Nothing to write home about.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 26, 2005 22oz draft at Dick’s Last Resort in Myrtle Beach, SC. Pours brown with a fair tan head. Aroma of nuts, some caramel and brief hops. Flavor is caramel and nutty but actually not very robust. Palate is light and airy. Very drinkable just a little lacking in flavor and body though. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 31, 2008 Copper color, seemed a clone of Newcastle, very unexciting. No, not a fan of this style. Nutty and bland, minimal aroma. kimcgolf (835), Dacula, Georgia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 30, 2008 On tap at Pearlz Oyster Bar in Charleston’s Historic District. Poured a brownish-red color with a thin off-white cap that disippated quickly but actually left decent lacing. Very faint aroma that was nutty-caramel and malt. Mouthfeel was fairly thin and tingly, and unfortunately, the faintness of the nose was even less noticeable in the taste The finish was a bit on the dry side.
Not a bad beer, just no real positives. Would probably make an okay session beer. UNCCTF (465), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 22, 2004 On tap at the Flying Saucer in Charlotte. Poured a clear brown with no head to speak of. Aroma was slightly fruity. Flavor and mouthfeel was very sour and had almost no body for a darker ale. Not what I’m looking for in a brown ale - needs more body and some maltiness or nuttiness.
