| 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. hellbilly (1532), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 2, 2007 A nice brown ale that I feel should be rated higher. Aroma is roasted malt and some chocolatey sweetness. Pours brown with a thin tan head. Flavor is more roasted malt with more sweet chocolate. Moderatley dry and sweet finish. after4ever (2776), Brier, Washington, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 22, 2007 12-oz. Thanks, Footy! Pours a deep dark opaque brown. Headless. Laceless. Seemingly still. Light chocolate, nougat, candy bar-ish nose, but not very forward about it. Medium to light body, fairly still. Lots of processed sugar flavors knocking around on the mid-palate, some caramel, chocolate, nougaty, maybe some roastiness/brown bread there at the end. Has some flavor to it but it that flavor does not have much company. Clingy, sticky sweet finish. goldbrew (99), USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Sep 21, 2007 Very watery for a nut brown ale. Lacking in flavor and boldness - really meek in character. Flavors were swirling and not well-defined, no identity. Maybe I had a bad bottle? kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
