| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 19, 2003 A smooth, relaxing beer with nice flavor and a good finish. This is not an flashy offering, but is enjoyable. JK (2955), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 18, 2003 The guy at the liquor store recommended this as an alternative to Newcastle. It wasn't bad, but seemed kind of thin. It looked nice with a dark brown color, but not much to enjoy besides taste of hops. An ok beer. PorterPounder (3138), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 16, 2003 No real aroma; dark ruby-red appearance - little to no head. Kind of a metallic taste to it at first but mellows as it warms - nutty flavor starts to come through. Could be a bit more malty though. Bit of an artificial aftertaste.

A fairly decent brown ale but nothing spectacular by any means. Its just a decent brown ale. Dont expect much and you shall receive. jgb9348 (2503), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
