| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Bottle. Warm brown color. Rich malty aroma the way most browns should be. Quaffable but not thin. Nice roasted malt character. Nice and dry and finishes with a hint of spice. A true session beer. Very nice example of the style. Brewbie (231), New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 18, 2009 12oz bottle. nice brown head, aroma of hops. lots of hops in the taste, with just a hint of malt sweetness. nice finish, not overly bitter Barrios (861), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jan 3, 2009 Split bottle with Butters. First let me say this bottle was extremely overcarbonated and killed the entire experience for me. Burnt red in color with a burnt toast, roasty, flavor with a hoppy finish.

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | Dec 28, 2008 Gusher! Pours a murky light brown with massive tan head. Nose has some toffee, nutty. Vegetal nuttiness and some metallic, with huge carbonic bite. Not infected, but certainly overcarbonated. JohnQPublic (387), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear dark brown with ruby hints and a big, creamy khaki head. Nose is toasty and floral, dry. Flavor is lots of toasty, roasty malt, breadcrust, nutty, dry, with a long, moderately bitter, dry finish. I prefer my brown ales less hoppy - the dry hop quality and the toast, almost roasty presence seem to emphasize each other in a way that makes both a bit more dry and unpleasant. riversideAK (2792), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 20, 2008 A nice brown ale. SOme sweetness, toasted nuts, earthy hops. Huge foamy head from lots of carb. Brown pour. Hoppy, earthy, roasted, nutty. italianjohn (388), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Yowza this stuff is hoppy as all heck looks like whiskey in your glass but with a nice amount of tan head the hops just hit you big time and the bitterness hits you as well seems like too many flavors a bit spicy floral and roasted not a slammer daknole (3027), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Holy hell this is what a brown ale should be all about. Murky brown pour with a thin tan head. Aroma is really nice. I get some nuts, notes of lactose, hops and a bit of fruitiness. Tastes like this brown ale has part milk stout, part porter, and part ipa in it. Creamy mouthfeel, smooth mellow hops and some nutiness make this a seemless brew. VERY underrated and for the life of me I cannot figure out why.
