| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 13, 2004 good roasty scent, a bit sour and a bit metallic even though out of a bottlel. From a 12 pack sampler. Borrrris (99), LINDENHURST, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Nov 13, 2004 Updated: Dec 1, 2004Bottle. Classic Sampler 12 pack. I discovered completely by accident that this beer tastes much better barely cool than ice cold. Color and flavor notes reminiscent of roasted chestnuts. Medium, somewhat creamy body. Not much head. Hoppiness develops after a few sips, but a sour note keeps it from being all it could be. BUY AGAIN?: OK; as part of the sampler. Jine (896), Nutley, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 5, 2004 From the Saranac 12 classic beer styles sampler pack.
Nice brown color, head small but decent. A little on the thin side (all the saranacs are), but has enough nutty flavor to redeem itself cfranz (261), Acton, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 4, 2004 Got this in a 12 bottle variety pack - pick it up if you see it, every beer is decent and pretty inexpensive. The Season’s Best NBA had a tiny off-white head, but has a nice rich brown color. Hoppy, with a bit of sourness at first. After a few sips though, this brew develops character and layers of spicy nut.
