Taste sweet, but not overpoweringly so. Caramel with a molasses/maple tang to it. Not much on moutch feel a little watery and no hop presence jumps out, a good session fall beer, but not the greatest. Trev (867), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 12, 2009 Definitely maple-y. Not bad, kinda cloying. Fake tasting. Similar off (low quality) taste as the pale. Swalden28 (1468), McKinney, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 2, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours brown with amber hues, beige head. Aroma is nice, maple, brown sugar, caramel, malt. Flavor is exactly the same, some light sweetness. Mouthfeel is light-medium body with high carbonation. Overall, tasty beer! freemartin (2), Greeley, Colorado, USA does not count | 0.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | May 31, 2009 I could tell that this one was not for me from the first smell. Even my girlfriend, who does not drink beer, noticed the overly sweet, syrupy nose on this one. It poured a little darker than the Browns I’m used to. As soon as it hit my tongue I was done. It felt heavy in my mouth and tasted sickly sweet.
I live in Colorado and love to support our local brewers, but I could not finish a single bottle of this beer, and it kind of ruined my opinion of the entire mix 12pack and the brewery itself. Narnad (694), Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 21, 2009 Pours a brown color with a bubbly, short, white head. Aroma contains a fairly heavy dose of Munich malt, a very sugary, caramel sweet note and a modest nutty hint toward the finish. Flavor begins with sweet caramel note, moving into a slight chocolate malt with a heavier nuttiness and finishes with a Munich malt and some dark sugary ending. Beer is pretty thin with high carbonation. Overall an okay beer but the lightness and overly sweet character makes it a beer to have only once in a while. ben4321 (996), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 14, 2009 Location: A friend gave me a 12 oz bottle, I believe it was purchased at a Total Wine in NoVA...it came out of a 6 beer 12 bottle Tommyknocker sampler.
5/14/09
Aroma: Caramel, nuts, chocolate, a very sweet nose
Appearance: Nice brown color, slight red hue, thin off-white/brown head that dissipates quickly, slight lacing
Flavor: Sweet malts dominate the flavor, which is much like the nose
Palate: Lightish body, a little sticky
Overall Impression:
Sure, its a bit thin, bit its not bad. I like what they are trying to do, but it could really use some additional character, as it just isn’t quite there.
