| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 1, 2008 Pours dark brown, good clarity, offwhite head. Aroma is roasted malt. Flavor is very roasted and actually a bit acrid. That might be ok in a stout but this is supposed to be a brown ale. Flavor is very dry. Finish is clean. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2008 Not bad, but, as with all organics it seems, its missing something. Pours clear brown with a small bubbly head. Musty, earthy caramel malt and nuts. Taste is watery caramel, nuts, some roasted malt, and cola. Below average. Holdwine (908), Beertimore, Maryland, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 18, 2008 Weak brown that may have suffered due to the higher octane beers at Savor. They get some points for being Organic. Slightly watery with a decent nuttiness factor. argo0 (6907), Washington DC, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 1, 2008 Updated: Apr 7, 2008Bomber. Pours very dark brown, with a smallish brown head. Aroma is roast malt, with notes of chocolate and coffee, and hints of caramel. Roast malt flavor as well, quite dry and ashy at times, with a bit of hops in the finish, and a bit of acidity. A little one-dimensional, but pretty intense, and not bad if you like roasted malt. elelwarren (138), SF Bay area, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Dark brown, with small head. Slight aroma of malts and pear. Flave very mineral-based, with some charred tast as well. Very dry, plus some acidity. A touch of aroma hops to finish it off. Not particularly memorable. bhensonb (4276), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 5, 2008 Bomber. Dusty brown roasted ale aroma. Deep mahogany color with a decent tan head. Medium body with mild, creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark roasted malt, nearly toasted, with chocolate notes. It approaches a porter in character. There is enough bitter to keep the malt within reason. The bitter tends to build with time. RunDWP (203), San Jose, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 4, 2008 In a bottle from local BevMo. Sturdy tan head, dark brown color. Lots of toasted malt taste. Mouthfeel a little watery. Slightly toasty aroma. Detected a slight musty off-taste. Otherwise, a pretty hearty and tasty brew that goes down surprisingly smooth.
