| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 30, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 7/178/09. Pours a great brown with beautiful lacing. Aroma is dominated by coffee and caramel and not a rischly roasted as I would expect. Get a nice smooth sweetness up front, then a mild bitter finish. Very well-balanced brown and not as nutty or rich as many other browns. Frovigalning (511), , Sweden
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 3, 2009 It poured a dark slightly red liquid with a small dirty white foam. Smell and taste of malt and caramell. Smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness and medium body. sfontain (510), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 11, 2006 Dark brown; thick, creamy, slightly off-white head. Aroma is chocolate and tobacco and a little coffee with a hint of vanilla and caramel; very nice. Flavor is more malty than anything else, along with a hint of chocolate and just barely vanilla; the 5.5% abv is surprisingly apparent as it is accompanied by a warmth as it travels down the throat and into the stomach. Full-bodied with medium stickiness. A very surprising offering from Avery; one of the very few beers that I wouldn’t mind buying to drink on a regular basis.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 1, 2002 Reddish brown. Sweet smell. Fruity chocolate taste, with nuts coming in as it warms. Surprisingly thick, pleasant aftertaste. stchloe (500), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 12/20 | Jun 22, 2009 Not impressed. I was drinking a chocolate stout with a friend and got the two confused half way between. Either this speaks poorly of the stout or this beer. Not exactly a brown, not bad, just not a brown. spkldhenlvr24 (496), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 5, 2010 Bottle. Pours a deep brown body with a reddish tint when held to the light and medium, quick khaki head. Aroma is light roasted nuts, malts, and some sugar. Flavor is full of semi-sweet malts, bitter balance and and nice roasted chocolate, nutty finish. Medium bodied, easy drinking. A little disappointed by this brown but overall not too bad.
