| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 25, 2008 This brown felt fairly basic. Bit malty and sweet. Poured flatish, though on tap at the restaurant. Nothing amazing but paired fine with sushi in the heart of Seattle. Bradrcr (781), Renton, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 24, 2008 5/10 On draught at the brewery. Aroma is semi-sweet with a faint roast malt character and no hop floa. Appearance is medium brown with a good tan head. Flavor is sweet, with malty caramel and low bittering. Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with a low carb texture. Overall, quite good, and not a huge departure from a standard brown. CaptainCougar (5530), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 24, 2008 Bottle thanks to 5000: Pours a transparent dark copper brown with a stringy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of semi-sweet toasty caramel malts with some mild leafy notes. Starts lightly sweet and sugary with some fresh nutty notes and a touch of bitterness before a sweet finish. An interesting and well-balanced brown ale. shp555 (1691), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 20, 2008 Bomber shared by theisti. Pours a reddish Dr. Pepper brown with a thin ring of beige bubbles clinging to the edge of the glass. The nose is an interesting yet not altogether pleasant aroma of burnt hazelnuts and dark nut bread or cake. Light to medium-bodied and slick with a lightly dry but fairly clean finish. Nutty and lightly vegetal with an ashy finish. Unique but not great. Thanks for sharing this interesting brew with us, Tim! theisti (1692), Leawood, Kansas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 18, 2008 22 oz bottle purchased at 99 Bottle in Federal Way, WA. Pour is cola brown, some ruby, with not much tan head. Aroma of hazelnut and something vegetable - pandan perhaps? Also some spice and some leafy grassiness. The spice and nuttiness is really overwhelming. Taste has nuttiness, some slight fruitiness, dried fruit. The taste is more muted then the nose, fortunately. Palate is medium, but is long, coating and lasting. Very original, totally unique, but not all that tasty.
