| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 30, 2008 650 ml bottle from dkachur. Pours a dark brown color with red highlights and a big off-white head that displayed good lacing. The aroma murky with roasted malts and chocolate. The flavor was rich with roasted malts, dirt, biter-sweet nuts and a bit of mocha. The mouthfeel is full and creamy. The finish is medium in duration with a slight biter astringency.Overall: One of the better brown ales that I can remember. Thanks Dan. MaltDawg (778), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Its taste clean but a good brown ale is not really the way its supposed to be. Slightly smokey with some noticeable hops. Thin but very drinkable. nick76 (2676), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 8, 2008 The aroma is chocolate, roasted malt, cream, and hops. The appearance is brown with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma but a little too clean for the style. The palate is a little too thin. Overall it’s good. decaturstevo (2004), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Malty with a hint of brown sugar. A brown foamy tight lace.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 3, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark brown body with a small, wispy, off-white head.
Smell: Altogether mild aroma, but there are some notes present smelling of walnuts, a single drop of chocolate, and a splash of black tea.
Taste: Roasted nuts and a teaspoon of table sugar. The vaguest hints of chocolate and caramel. Very, very light bitterness interrupts, then it’s back to the nuts.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Ah, nuts! Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA

The flavor is a little bit dry with some toffee, chocolate, and nutmeg. Overall a decent enough brown ale. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
