| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 11, 2007 Can from theisti, via Zinister. Thanks! Pours a velvety mahogany with an off-white head. Aromas of chocolate cherry and chocolate raspberry are dominant in the nose, with a hint of java for good measure. Flavor is smoky strawberry and chocolate coffee; friggin’ awesome. Mouthfeel is only average, but this is the only lowpoint here. This is an AWESOME brew! CharlesDarwin (1846), Point Judith, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 9, 2007 16 oz can. Sea salt and orange zest aroma. Wispy. Moist and fresh. Oat dust and lemon juice. Restrained. Pours a touching florid mahogany, with blood red fringe and a soapy tan head, creamy. Nice lacing. On the tongue, a robust kick of malty sugars and roasted malt. Begins with a salty sea oat sweep and then slides into a coarse and grainy tooth of grain, orange peel, toasted almond and sweet honey. The oat brings in great character to this brown. Not overly hoppy, in my opinion, a nice balance with some floral and resin bitterness in the back end. A rather quaffable and delicious brew. Nicely constructed. SoLan (1423), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 13, 2009 RBSG 07. On tap at Surly. Dark brown/amber, ruby hues. Small tan head. Drinks like a bit fuller english brown without a twang. Toasty, biscuity, fresh oats. Creamy on the palate with a little carbonation bite on the finish. Medium body. Solid brown ale. From notes.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2006 16oz can via trade with robertsreality! - Thanks Rob - Pours dark brown with a big creamy tan head that stays well and laces the glass. Nice aroma of caramel, toasted malts, and some coffee. Flavor is robust with roasted malts, caramel, and coffee.. The oatmeal can really be detected in the palate which is full bodied and almost gritty but with a nice creamy background.. Slight bitterness at the finish with a lingering smokey finish.. Wow this is a pretty nice beer and if there were 6 packs of this in Ohio I’d be drinking lots of these cans.. Nice one.. antzman (313), Clarksville, Indiana, USA

Nice aroma of nuts, caramel and toffee. The flavor has a great taste of roasted malts, nuttiness, a bit of sugar, and some light berries. Nice clean nutty finish. Very well done brown ale.

This is a very nice, easy drinking brown ale that’s on par with some of the best I’ve tasted in it’s category. Can looks like an energy drink, so you can walk down the street or drive down the highway and nobody would commit to looking twice. Except maybe in Minnesota. KnutAlbert (3151), Oslo, Norway
