| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 27, 2006 Bottle. Poured a hazy chestnut brown with a short cap of off-white head. Mild nuttiness, toffee, and caramel find the nose... albeit in small doses. Light, slick mouthfeel that comes together a little better at the finish. Flavor picked up the aroma notes.. but also an overbearing floral/veggie hop presence... seemed to be lacking of balance. Finish was dry and nutty, with some pleasant smooth caramel. Not necessarily good, but was easy-drinkin’. RAYBOY01 (1873), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 23, 2006 Pretty decent brown with it’s prominent nutty flavor and sweet caramel malt, undercut by a lightly floral hopping. Very repeatable. frankenkitty (1903), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 23, 2006 This had an explosive head for no apparent reason and kinda pissed me off. The head settles soapy & rocky above a brownish/copper body with a slight haze. Aroma held a touch of brown sugar to a dry background of peanut shells with light apple and a floral note. Smooth, malted flavor was a little fruity with a bit of smoky bitterness to end.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 26, 2005 A drinkable session beer, light brown with a creamy beige head, this comes across much like a mild ale. It’s got a decent nutty malt aroma and flavor with just a bit of herbal hopping in the finish. Not bad.
