| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jan 2, 2010 Keg at my house. Pours an expected brown color with a moderate, frothy off-white head. Aromas of brown sugar, caramel, butterscotch, and hints of floral. Mouthfeel is lively initially but then oh so smooth at the finish. Creamy finish as well. Flavors of molasses, toasted malts, and butterscotch. Honestly tastes better than most English brown ales so two thumbs up for me. gnoff (3579), Göteborg, Sweden

Pale brown colour. Low head. Nutty backbone in aroma with pale chocolate touch. Bit light in mouthfeel, and not much maltiness going on. Nuttiness in taste again, with bit of milk chocolate. Low bitterness. American brown ale but with subdued hoppiness. joechristenson (39), Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 30, 2009 Dark cherry wood brown -- small off white head that laces wonderfully. Aroma is faint but there’s an earthy, roasted malt with some sweetness. Nutty flavor and the earthiness stays -- spicy, too, though I can’t put my finger right on it. Great carbonation -- bouncy without overwhelming the flavors. BrotherGrendel (611), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Pours ruby red to brown hue, light tan head mostly dissipates. Nose is caramel and roasted malts, hints of light and citrus fruits. Flavor is sweet roast malts, some nuts and chocolate, citrus and resin hops flavor to balance, finishes bitter and sweet with yeast and sugary caramel. Medium body and carbonation, smooth texture. A malty and flavorful brown, good for session drinking but nothing outstanding.
