| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/20 | Dec 23, 2003 (as Morimoto edition) Beautiful brown with nice head. Hint of hazelnut in the aroma. Initial flavors of very slightly sweet malt. I expected a nutty finish but BAM--it's like drinking ground up pecan shells. Blech. Maybe I just had a bad bottle. JMerritt (1318), Macomb, Illinois, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 19, 2004 Sampled at Brew Ha Ha 2004. Clear ruby/brown colored. Light brown head is massive and leaves very nice lacing. Roasted hazelnuts, brown sugar, and molasses aroma is absolutely delicious. Flavor has more of that sweet, nutty hazelnut characteristic that kept be going back for more samples. Slight bitterness in the finish. This was the highlight of the festival. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 12, 2003 A rich, brown brew with a quickly dissipating head. Crisp and dry and nutty with a hint of caramel, sweet malts and coffee in the finish. Nice and smooth and easy to drink, although nothing is particularly striking, except the coffee in the finish.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 7, 2006 Chestnut brown, red shine, beige head; Soft textured caramel malty nose, very Rogue like; Soft texture, sharp small bubbled carbonation; Into a finish with lots chocolate, some length, to soft and unbalanced. To easy, to straight forward and to candy like (it reminds me of American teenage movies). radagast83 (1302), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 25, 2006 22 oz. bottle (as Morimoto). Dark brown, small off-white head. Hazel Nut aromas, with a great flavor of chocolates, hazelnut, and nutmeg. Nice sweet flavor barely tastes like alcohol at all. TChrome (1299), Bedford, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 26, 2003 Very pleasant drinking experience. This nice brown ale smells of sweet roasted malt. Appearance is reddish brown with big off white head that is fully retained. There is moderate lacing. The drinking is where things get good. This is a malty beer that is nice and smooth. A very nice break from the BIG ABV beers I usually consume.
