Sweet, carmel nutty taste. Kinda creamy, smooth going down. Very drinkable. Tad sweet to be a lawnmower. badgerben (3600), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 17, 2004 Tap at Sprecher's tasting room. Light brown color, low head. The entire experience is reminisent of Newcastle, but not as nutty. howie (549), DeForest, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Nov 5, 2003 Updated: Apr 5, 2004Nice brown color, but mine had no head. Mild toasty, fruity aroma, subtle roasted flavors and a little caramel sweetness. Mildly bittered. Nice session ale. djmcfar (64), Ixonia, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 4, 2003 I agree with the Commercial Description except for the "subtle bitterness that rounds out the palette". Exceptionally creamy mouthfeel - very easy to drink. DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 9, 2003 This stuff smells like old butter and peanut shells. The flavor reminds me of greasy grain husks with a nice hoppy aftertaste. Mine was bottled on 8/26/03, so it's not like it's super-old. The palate was lacking because this dry sticky feeling it leaves after the swallow. JoeM500 (1876), Chicago (little italy), Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 3, 2003 Diacytol at first waft. Some seemingly British hops, like most Bitters have in the nose. Hints of caramel under the almost-offensive butter aroma. Nice medium mouthfell, but seemingly tasteless minus some caramel and tiny hops bitterness. Oily at times in the mouth. Would guess it a Bitter. Off style, but maybe a fresher sample (buttereless) would suffice as a session beer. TheDean (785), MIlwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 27, 2003 This beer is good, but it does not have the same full flavor of Most of Sprecker's brews. Still, it is a nice brew.
