| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 22, 2002 Well I opened this one up and poured in to my glass. Schmelled like new auto paint and then believe it or not like bananas. Tasted like a strong caramel and a taste I can’t put my fingers on. I liked the overall taste but wouldn’t want to taste it on a regular basis. Bierlieber (49), Evanston, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 20, 2002 worst of the schell offerings. overall it’s a drinkable beer, but poor ratings for trying to pass it off as an alt. too dark and dry for the style. had more of a dunkel lager character. proc (342), Dearborn, Michigan, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 7, 2002 An interesting beer, but not very complex. Pours out to a amber, almost brown color. Somewhat sweet with a light hop presence on the finish. I honestly can say I liked it but wished it were a little more flavorful. The Schell Brewery is a nice thing for the folks in Minnesota and the Midwest to have around. MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2002 Nice malt flavor, and a compliment of hoppy bitterness. The palate is nice, but seems a little thin after the bitterness. kyzr (1123), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2002 A classic from schell brewing. Wonderful aroma and great looking brown color in the glass. Nice toasted malt with slight chocolate and carmel flavor. Slick (1962), Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 9, 2002 very malty light bitterness nothing that can’t be handled good finish worth trying again and again MaxPower (961), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2002 Brown color,roasty malty aroma, brown color, taste of chocolate and caremel, a very balanced Alt, very good. Drew (2409), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 11, 2002 a very malty alt. medium to thick palate. dark brown body. Roasted chocolate abounds, as well as a large amount of sourness (this, I did not like). Some chalkiness ensues. Moderate hops. Nowhere near BlimpCity, but well done anyway.
