| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 17, 2005 Poured a medium and cloudy brownish color with a large sized (3.5 finger) off white head. Aromas of cardboard, wet mud with some burnt malts. Tastes of nuts, caramel and some toffee. Tasted better than that awful aroma. Thin body. CaptainCougar (5544), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 19, 2003 Sweet sticky caramel malt aroma. Light brown copper color with a thin off-white head. Body is thick and sweet with notes of maple and pecans. Not much balance here and a little too cloying on the sweetness. Cletus (5060), Connecticut, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2009 bottle courtesy of Dalzale. Pours brown with a generous tan head. Smells of sweet malt, nutty, earthy. Tastes sweet and lightly tarte with an earthiness on the finish. Cornfield (4980), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 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.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 10, 2003 Amber color with a rehyrated dry yeast looking head. Aromas of light licorice, toffee, hay, silage, and faint lemon citric hops. Definate DMS - with light caramel malt, creamed corn, hazelnuts and buttered toast. Decent malt in the finish. Thinner in feel. The first one from this brewery that was a bit of a disappointment. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of malt, nuts, toffee, some cognac. Tastes malty, with toffee, big almonds, and some finishing fruit and caramel. A decent nut brown. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 16, 2006 Draught sample at the brewpub, late July 2006. Clear maple with a thin ring of dying head and no lace....nose faintly nutty, a touch acrid, with hints of caramel, decent qualities but too weak....body sweet, rather thin, light vanilla-brown sugar notes combining with nutty oiliness gives a pleasant but unmemorable cast to this wholly ordinary example of a wholly ordinary style.
