| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 13, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown with a nice creamy tan head. Aroma is very malty and fruity with some nutty chocolate notes. Flavor starts very nutty and rich malty and through the finish the fruitiness like raisins become more apparent. Kind of a slight bitterness lingers, but in a good way. Good all around brown ale and a very rich body and creamy mouthfeel. ironchefscott (342), portland, Oregon, USA
