| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 18, 2009 A very nice pour with some decent head, great lacing, and nice carbonation in what looks to be a rather viscous liquid.
Smells of caramel, light bread, roasted malt. Unexpectedly nice here.
Tastes of caramel, bread, sweetness, very light on the hops, no bitter sensation or alcohol presence. Very good.
Medium in both body and carbonation.
Such an easy drinker and a solid beer. Very good stuff.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours ruby brown with a light tan head. Sweet aromas of grapes, raisins, and cocoa with touches of roast and vanilla. Flavors are earthy nuts, roasty chocolate, and some red grape notes. Light smoky finish. Palate’s a bit thin for my tastes, but makes sense for a brown ale. Blaze312 (132), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

nutty brown colored pour with an off white head and random spotty lacing.
the aroma is simple enough... toasted nuts, malt, chocolate and caramel.
the flavor mirrors the aroma only not so much... it is quite nondescript, watered down and meh.
medium bodied with a soft airy mouth feel from the carbonation. 6/3/5/3/13/3 oreogobbler (217), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Light heavily carbonated brown color with a thin white fluff of a head. Very strong chocolate malt aroma. Some caramel and some other things that I can’t pin point. The malt aroma is a bit to strong.
Very light beer. The body is smooth and thin. Great beer for a hot day.
The flavor is nice, chocolate the melts into iced coffee, and finishes with a nice mild smokiness. Very lovely I may have another.
