| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 19, 2003 Rich brown color. Little head (served too cold, however). Its color belies its somewhat thing taste. Nevertheless a nice even ale with a good hop level. Would make a good session ale in mid fall. JCW (1262), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Feb 10, 2003 Redlem and I drank from the same cup on this one. It tasted like lawn clippings and dirt. This is one "session" I'd like to be excluded from. redlem (1155), Illinois, USA
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | Jan 25, 2003 Yeech. A brown ale. It starts out like a Newcastle but then the old chewing gum taste comes in. Very unpleasant. After you swallow this you are reaching for a pretzel to get the taste out of your mouth. The only session I could imagine this being used for is comparing all the used gum on the bottom of movie theater seats to see which one it tastes like. Jokes (1453), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 15, 2003 Pours a dark brown, slightly red color with thin off-white head. The aroma is nutty and grainy, almost like Grape Nuts. The flavor is surprisingly roasted with a bit of toast and some nut making a strong showing. The finish a bit short. It's a really easy drinking beer. I can see why they call it a session beer. jsquire (2123), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 27, 2002 Deep ruby color with thin brown head and subtle roasted grain nose. Thin, nutty flavor but unremarkable. Probably would have been better with a sandwich. Darkover (1316), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 19, 2002 Dark brown/ruby color, no head. Weak malt aroma. Nutty flavor JPDIPSO (4932), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2002 Ruby/brown color with a smaller light tan head. Aroma of a brown porter, with nuts and mild coffee to the forefront. Mild almonds, light bitter chocolate, and toasted buscuits. Touch of malt acidity in the finish to clean things up. Not a bad session. bluemeow76 (693), Lewis Center, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 6, 2002 A smooth and easy, if somewhat thin, drink. Warm nutty tones with a hint of brown sugar in the flavor. A bit on the sweet side.
