| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 9, 2006 Bottle courtesy of MDS! Thanks Mr. Stich! Pours dark brown, slightly transparent, with a fizzy medium sized beige head. Aromas mainly consist of roasted malt with a side plate of nuts. Pretty sweet nutty flavours with a punch of hops to try to balance. Litle too sweet maybe. Lacks complexity, but ok for what it is. A new state thanks to MDS!

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 24, 2006 I had this draft in, of course, Arizona, as a draft beer at J-Bar in Tucson. Looks like a nut brown. Dark but not opaque, creamy head, some lacing. Some hazlenut flavor, some dark malt, a little hop in the finish, a little light and thin in the mouth. About right for a nut brown, which is far from my favorite style. KUEric (632), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 30, 2006 12 oz Bottle: Pours a deep brown/black.garnett color. Little to no head. Has some nutty, earthy, woody, tofee flavors. Aromas of caramel and a touch of hops. kramer (2515), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 28, 2006 12 oz bottle, via FlacoAlto. Mahogany colored body under a fizzy off-white head that faded quickly. Aroma of toasted malt with a light nuttiness, but also slightly grainy. Flavor is a mix of nuttiness and very light roast. The negative grainy nature of this comes out in the finish. Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, average for a Brown Ale and below average in the overall context of the world of beer. Firemoose15 (542), Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Nov 22, 2005 Bottle. Thanks Degarth. #2 on nut brown ale night at home. Aroma was nice roast malt light nut. Pour was nice deep brown with a light head. Flavor was quite nice, nice malt and deep nut flavor with a nice background of hops to even it out. Palate was nice and even and finish was relatively clean. Overall this was good. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 18, 2005 Not a huge fan of the nut brown ales in general, but this was actually pretty good. Pours a true brown with a light tan head. Aroma is mostly malt and nuts. The taste is very mellow. Malts, some "Chock Full O’ Nuts"-like coffee, and a little smoky. Decent, not great, but leagues ahead of its Amber Ale cousin. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Oct 9, 2005 thanks falcoalto. 12 oz bottle, poured a clear brown, with small fast fading white head. Nose had coffee and malt. Was a bit flat, lacking in the over all taste-mouth feel. But not a bad brown.
