| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Pours a clear, pretty amber with a nice, chalky white head.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 18, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, reddish brown with a minimal, off-white head. Tastes halfway between a red ale and a brown ale, however, there is an apparent corn taste that really keeps this from being a good beer. I knew I should have gone with Troeg’s. zdk (232), New York, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 15, 2009 a bit disappointing. Some nice nutty malt flavors and is nice and smooth. But the flavor profile is rather simple and not very ’wicked’ dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Sep 20, 2009 copper color, not much head, just off white bubbles, no lace. mostly air in the nose with some sweet malt tagging along. mild malt flavor but pretty watery overall and no trace of hops. medium bodied, clean finish. nothing to see here folks. move along. disappointing in its meekness. single bottle from binny’s orland park.
