| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown pour with a small, creamy tan head. Aroma is roasty and nutty with a raison like dark sweetness. Maybe brown sugar? Flavor is roasty with light bittersweet cocoa and a little more raison. Nice. Thanks BuckDich.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Dark root beer brown, nearly black with weak head retention. Distinctly nutty aroma, with the characteristic popcorn/hazelnut pungence. The flavor is similarly nutty, with popcorn as well though it is not as dominant. Small flares of brown malt appear and add complexity to the sharply nutty, caramel flavors. Unique for certain. A nuanced, distinctly nutty and caramel, medium to full bodied brown ale.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Bottle: Pours as expected. The aroma, to me, smelled like dank jungle-must bordering on wet cardboard. Surprisingly this had a sweet finish. The ’nutty and fragrant’ Pandan leaf does not help out the aroma of this beer whatsoever, but it does add a new dimension to the flavor. I still don’t know how I feel about it totally, but I am glad I tried it. sliffy (1967), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Bottle: Pours brown with a white head. Aroma, caramel, nutty, earthy hops. Flavor, caramel, nutty, toffee, earthy notes. Some toasted qualities, definitely something unique in this that I couldn’t place, but a solid beer. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Courtesy Oakes. Dark brown color, very little head present. Smooth chalky aroma that is most easily compared to hazelnut, but there’s an extra component here that I can’t describe. Nutty taste, toasted chestnut, some deeper roast flavors. Clean finish. An interesting brown. Angeloregon (2025), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 20, 2008 From a 22-ounce bottle--thanks to Dave at By The Bottle in Vancouver, Washington--Poured a standard brown body with a small filmy white head. Smell of ovaltine or maltomeal. Crisp, sweet, sugary, tropical sugars, rich, roasty, and unique. This is perhaps one of the best beers I have had in some time! Cletus (5055), Connecticut, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy of SuzyGreenberg. Pours brown with a thin white film. Smells of a greenhouse, light spices. Tastes rosey with some orangy hints. Mouthfeel is full with a tarte lemony finish. BückDich (4847), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 15, 2008 Bottle: Dark brown color, nice light head and decent lacing. Nose of bright nutty toasty bread, super melanoidins to the rescue, holy crap this is nutty and toasty. Almost more toasty than toast! Pandan?! Holy shit, I want some for brewing. The flavor has a nice full body, more nutty accents. A decent finish. Wow, that nose is spectacular for a brown ale. So nutty, so good!
