| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Twelve ounce bottle pours a clear cola brown body with a small and transient beige head. Sparse lacing. Aroma is muted, just a hint of chocolate and faint grassy hops. Medium body is overcarbonated. Taste is underwhelming. Faint malty chocolate and a vague hop bitterness. Maybe this is an old bottle. RONCOD (106), Uledi, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Dark brown color with a thick tan head that faded quickly. The first taste was a sweet caramel malt flavor. The flavor faded a little at the end. Not too bad. I would try again. daknole (2973), Plantation, Florida, USA

Aromas of nuts and malt/. Flavor is nutty, yeasty, crackers, etc. Not bad, not bad at all! lithy (1725), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 25, 2008 Very clear ruby brown color with a thin tan head and heavy nutty brown malt aromas. Warms roasted nuts and a light effervescence on the tongue gives a smooth nuttiness and breadiness to the taste but is not as ’heavy’ as the aroma suggests. Some milk chocolate slips through in the finish and lingers nicely. smjohnst (203), , Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 10, 2008 Bottle: Poured a dark brown with not much head. The aroma was somewhat nutty and spicy. The flavor was sweet, nuts, and toffee. It seemed a tad watered down but good flavor nonetheless. Overall, a decent brown ale but not the best. GMUcrew7 (361), Mason, Ohio, USA
