| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2004 (Bottle) Pours a copper body and a nice white lacing on the glass. Lightly carbonated. Mild malt and decent hops in the nose. This transpires into the flavours though there is a mild bandaid in the finish. Good. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 3, 2004 This pours a beautiful deep amber with a chunky off white head.
Malt is the basis of the aroma for this one.
The flavor is lightly malty with some balance coming from the hops, but no real bitterness. Nice smooth finish.
A drinkable brew although somewhat ordinary. ClarkVV (3578), Allston, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 30, 2004 2004 draught @ Redbones. Appears a bright orange, moderately hazy with a small white head. Aroma of light grassy hops, some light herbal and floral notes with maybe a touch of yeast and cookie dough. Flavor starts out very appley though? Hmm, this tastes a lot like apples, must be all of the pale and crystal malts. It dosent taste bad, just no real sweetness, nor much bitterness. Finishes dry and very nutty. Light body, moderately carbonated. hopdog (5622), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 29, 2004 Poured a medium amber color with a large off white head. Malty and caramel aroma and tastes. Little nutty as well. Not a bad beer but nothing special either. KAggie97 (2482), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 23, 2004 Updated: Apr 9, 2005This one has a little bit of bittersweetness attached to it. I had this one the day my black lab, Rufus, died. A black dog ale for a black dog. RIP, Mr. Rufus. Tastes like dirt. Seriously, the after-taste is much akin to earth. bombshelter (349), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Oct 6, 2004 For my first rating on this site, maybe not the best beer to pick. The aroma, like the flavor, is sweet, and a bit nutty. Not a bad beer, by any marks, but just lacking in any interesting complexity. Almost no hop presence, not a whole lot of anything but malt. matta (1139), Tampa, Florida, USA

Poured a dark chestnut colored body and a fluffy tan head. The aroma is lightly nutty, nice touch of assorted toasted barleys. Some woodsy characters, rather natural and earthy with a very light touch of smoke and chocolate.
