| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Tap @ Famous Dave’s in Bozeman: Brownish copper pour with a thin off-white head. Decent bits of lacing. Mild aroma is lightly floral hops with a little roast. Flavor development is similar. Not much going on here past the earhty florals and light roast. Kinda boring.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Bottle. Poured with a small, off-white head that diminished to a thin film. Body was clear with a dark reddish-brown color. Very nice aroma of roasted malt. Light on the palate, slightly creamy texture with soft carbonation. Nice flavor - lightly sweet with a roasted edge that helped the beer go down really smooth. Definitely one I could have again, if not necessarily something to write home about. timmy300 (199), bloomington, Illinois, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Pours a reddish medium brown with a light brown head. The beer smells malty and a little sour. The beer tastes of roasted malts with hints of hops and sourness around the edges of the tongue. My experience was that this beer makes the mouth taste a little fuzzy.
