Jun 6, 2004 From the dark brown/red thick looking body, I expected more oomph. Instead it was a thin brown ale (ok, it was a little creamy, but watery at the same time). Sweet chocolate, then roasty with a minimally hopped ending. Not offensive and not very interesting.

Jun 6, 2004 A dark ruby color with a nice head. The aroma is light, but the flavor is almost smoky with a little coffee and a bit of light chocolate. Lightly bubbly mouthfeel.

May 13, 2004 6 oz sample at the brewpub. Very light chocolate-malty nose emanating from a creamy, near black, opaque oily surface with a super-creamy lasting head. Nuts, chocolate, and a smidgeon of rosemary in the flavor; could have more heft but otherwise quite good.

Mar 15, 2004 With a name like 'Grog' and its dark appearance I thought this beer was a Scotch Ale. Turned out to be an average brown ale with medium body, carmel undertones and a highly bitter aftertaste.

Jul 28, 2003 Dark caramel brown. Nose is smoky and earthy. Caramel at start, ends smoky. Finishes overly smoky, slightly sweet finish. A bit overly thin.

Jul 28, 2003 Dark tannish brown with a nice tan head. Sweet, nutty, caramel flavors. Quite a nice session ale. Decent hoppy finish, but not enough to overpower the malts. Quite enjoyable and drinkable.
