| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2008 Dark brown, almost black, with a deep beige head. Full, chewy mouthfeel, yet it went down pretty easy. Caramel, chocolate, bread crust and nuts. Rather wholesome tasting. Bitterness was mild, but there was a little zing there. OK brown.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Pours a cloudy amber-brown with a creamy light tan head. Caramel, malt and nuts in the aroma. Flavor is similar, with a bit of fruit and hops on the finish. Light and refreshing. Gregis (1132), Shawnee, Kansas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 27, 2008 Pours a cloudy reddish-brown with a dense, frothy, beige head. The nose is of dusty, fruity malt, metal and a faint plastic; not particularly enticing. Light-bodied and thin with assertive, fine carbonation, it finishes fairly astringent and lightly bitter. Similar to the nose with a bit of nuttiness added to the mix, the flavor posseses a phenolic/plastic note that overrides an otherwise pleasant brown. This is my least favorite of the three Oak Creek brews that I’ve sampled. BCMike22 (79), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 4, 2008 Beer from Deaz from TalkNCAA.com
Poured into a pint glass. Darker than I had expected, almost black. No light is escaping this puppy.
First sip was surprising, as it was a bit syrupy and thick. For a beer that’s not over 8% alcohol, this is about as slow drinking as it gets.
It’s not a bad beer, not by any means, but with as many fantastic craft brews that are out there, I doubt I will enjoy this one again. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jan 5, 2008 12 oz bottle via Hellbilly (thanks!). Pours a clear dark brown with a huge compacted dark beige head. Nose is caramel malts. Taste starts with some caramel, then some biscuity grains, a tiny bit of chocolate and hazlenut. Some floral hops and a bit of spiciness do make an appearance in the aftertaste. Body is light/medium, carbonation is high, a bit too high. Over-all though a decent brown ale.
