| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 24, 2009 12oz bottle thanks to vwcraig. Looks like a typical brown ale, little to no head. The flavor is only slightly smoky which to me is a good thing and makes it easier to drink this beer since I amno fan of smoke flavors in beer. The aroma is devoid of smoke and is pretty much dark malts.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Mar 23, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 3/23/09
Aroma: Malts, caramel, surprisingly light on the smoke
Appearance: Brown, slight clearness to it for a beer this color, medium off-white head
Flavor: Kind of sweet, mildly bitter
Palate: Relatively well balanced, medium body, great mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
This beer works well, it translates nicely, and progresses pretty well through the palate. The sweetness of the caramel is backed nicely by a mild hoppy bitterness and a subtle sweetness on the finish. Overall, it works pretty well. smith4498 (921), Miami, Florida, USA

Basically a nice malty ale finished with the aftertaste of packaged Polish sausage. Pleasant feeling in the mouth. A nice change of pace. djd07 (753), Houston, Texas, USA
