| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 13, 2006 Looks like sun tea, only with a head, a thin head. Light pine and brown sugar nose. Bitter first taste that has some resin to it. Milled flour flavor in the finish. A lot like a Granma’s® cookie, & that ain’t a compliment. Oily mouth feel. There is a bit of blackberry here that is not bad though.

Fairly clear brown with a thin soapy head.
Malty toasted aroma.
The overall flavor is bitter with an underlying sweetness that nevr breaks through. Dry in the finish. Decent beer although a bit one dimensional. redlight (1475), Winter Park, Florida, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 10, 2006 Sampled on Draft last week at Mellow Mushroom West Chase.
John’s Locker Series
A rusty amber body and a thick cap of head resting atop. The aroma brings a sweet but earthy molasses / nuttiness that exudes outwards. Caramel and mild toffee are abundant, the “patented” biscuity “PacMan” yeast, can’t miss that, a woodsy hops, spruce and lite pine resin spiciness. A very drinkable beer, nothing memorable, but well done! NachlamSie (1637), Tennessee, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 10, 2006 draught. Muddy brown/red body with a small head. Musty, mildly spicy nose which resembles burning leaves. It’s a little chalky with pronounced bitterness and thin, bready, toffee-like malts to balance. The overall taste reminds me of an attic, though somehow It’s still okay to sip on. Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 9, 2006 On tap at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham. Pours a cloudy amber/red color with not much head. Some grassy/earthy notes in the aroma. Good tasting, surprisingly hoppy beer. Lots of earthy bitterness here and a strong malty backbone. Very solid beer but it doesn’t really grab your attention. Another solid Rogue. hopdog (5576), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 8, 2006 On tap at the Drafting Room in Exton. Poured a dark brownish color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, light chocolate, nutty and citurs. Tastes of caramel, oranges, light chocolate and some light pine. Typical Rogue hoppiness. Lots of lacing left on the glass.
