| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2007 Sampled at GWBF 2007. On tap. Pours a clear amber with a moderate off-white head that was gone in about 30 seconds. Pleasant caramel malt in the aroma. Flavor is again caramel malt with some light hops bitterness at the finish. A decent brown ale. rocbyter (919), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2007 Not a bad beer at all. I don’t think that it compares in any way to an old ale, despite the commercial blurb and despite some evident toffee notes in the malts. Basically it’s a solid, quaffable, and fairly hoppy brown ale.
