| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Bottle thanks to craftbeerdesign. Clear reddish amber color with a thin off white head. Nose of wet grains and burnt toast, with hints of play-doh. Lots of brown sugar sweetness, some toasted grains, a little nuttiness and a slight hop presence in the finish. Not very complex, but an easy drinking brown ale.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 31, 2009 The appearance is hazy ruby red. Finger of pillowy white head. Tiny bubbles. Nice color, nice-looking.
The smell is a complex malt character. Some of the more bitter elements of an amber, with dry German aspects. On top of that, a sweet, sugary brown. Likewise, a flowery hop on top. Odd, but good.
The taste is nuttier brown than in the aroma. Less sweet, more dry. A little bitter malt too; balance of German and amber flavors in the malt. The hop is strictly an accent here, takes a backseat. As it warms, roasted malts like a porter.
The feel is creamy and substantial, but not thick. Minor fizz, but smooth too. A good beer overall, easy to slug down but not wimpy. It’s a complex, malty concoction.
