| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2007 Attractive, dark brown appearance with a medium size head and good lacing. Caramel malt aroma with a hint of toffee, but lacking the smoky qualities that help define the style. Fairly sweet, malty taste with flavors of dark bread and ripe fruit. Understated hop profile. Medium-bodied, modestly carbonated mouthfeel that is very easy on the palate. Long lasting finish. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 2, 2007 Bottle thanks to ElJefe: Pours a clear bright copper amber with a thin, frothy tan head. Aroma of really earthy, muddy, peaty character without much smoke and some toasted pale malt. Body starts with a fuller caramel malty sweetness with some light fruity complexity and more earthy flavor. NIcely balanced and fairly authentic. rocbyter (925), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 25, 2007 On tap at the speakeasy. Pours a dark amber with a thin to non-existant white head. Aromas of caramel, burnt toast, brown sugar, and malts. Flavor is malty and nutty with a pretty smooth finish. Nothing exciting, but I got to keep the glass which made it worth the 4 and a quarter.
