Interesting flavour, a little bit confused: a mild roast, slight sweetness, slight hoppiness. Flavour complex, but not very strong, and doesn’t exactly blend well. Body feels very thin. It does taste nutty, and it is somewhat unique. However, the thinness is really what kills this beer for me. This beer needs a lot more body. csbosox (1082), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 5, 2005 12oz bottle that I have been sitting on for a long while. Served at 56° in my Duvel tulip. Pours brown with a cream colored head. Nut and a woodsy hops aroma. Big malty start with some roasted malt and some light coffee and chocolate flavors. Finishes with a bit offsetting bitterness, but the finish is to the just to the malty side of balaced. Better than average mouthfeel. Not a bad brown ale. ntylions (1), pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 0.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 1/20 | Sep 26, 2005 This is a good brown bear. It is hoppy, the way I like it. Not bitter, but creamy and smooth. SB (318), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Poured dark brown with little off white color head. the Beer tasted light, not thick like i’m used too. Aroma I detected was of a toasted nut. Flavors when cold were nutty almost like a toasted walnut. As it warmed I got nutty chocolate flavors. Overall, I really enjoyed it’s smoothness. It was very easy to drink. I’ll be getting more PWalk (337), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

I found the beer very watery producing nothing in the way of a head. I was not impressed at all. ElJefe (553), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 16, 2005 Pours dark brown with a medium tan head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is a bit sweet with some cocoa and roastiness. Flavor is a little weak and slightly metallic. Some mild nuttiness and caramel flavors, but seems almost watered down. Chalky finish.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 19, 2005 Full nutty, malt aroma, but little of the hops the comm descrip states. Stills mells good. Dark brown, knocking on black’s door, but no one has answered just yet. This is a session beer champ right here folks. Nice smooth malt profile with a touch of roasted malt. This is the kind of beer that needs to be readily availible everywhere. This is the kind of beer that that lends itself well to drinking while you hang out with the guys. Thanks to Slob for another awesome beer. mephisto (1144), Taiwan
