| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Oct 9, 2006 22 oz bottle. Velvety chestnut brown body with almost no head. Aroma is quite sweet with maple syrup. To be fair, this isn’t my favorite style, but I found the flavor too syrupy sweet, almost like cough syrup. demitriustown (708), Shelby Township, Michigan, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 9, 2006 22 oz bottle: Aroma is malty, caramel, maple syrup, roasted walnut, faint cherry scent, and somewhat of a chocolate aroma. Appearance is a semi-translucent brownish black with a Khaki foamy head. Taste is a nutty, chocolate, light caramel, syrup, and nice malt note. Also nice sweetness to it but not too sweet. Palate is sugary, rather short, somewhat thin, yet lively carbonated. Overall, This is pretty good not anything special but a nice Nut Brown. maltdog (518), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 9/20 | Oct 9, 2006 22oz bottle dated 11/05. Transparent chesnut pour raises feeble soapsud foam. Sporadic dalmatian spots of lace. Simple, sweet aromas of grape, cherry, almond, and milk chocolate. Bleak taste of tootsie roll dipped in Pepsi. Bland, flabby palate; uncarbonated, torpid and textureless. Muted Black Russian finish ushers in a timid chocolate and rasperry aftertaste. Tommyknocker should apologize to all partakers of this painfully boring and utterly unsaporific beer. sneagrams3 (1762), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 8, 2006 22oz bottle. Dark brown hue with a ruby hint. Ring with a spotty layer of light tan head. Sweet, syrupy malty nose. Cookie, fruity and cocoa aromas. Full and sweet. Not too carbonated. Sweet malts, but with a nice burn from the alcohol. Finish is 7-Up citrus with a grapey kind hop flavor. Great texture. Nutty and sweet syrupy maple flavor. The 9.8 kinda smacks you in the face. Smooth and full. But not over the top. Great balance and complexity. Flavorful. Hits all parts of the palate. This is a good beer! Headbanger (1601), Aurora, Illinois, USA
