| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 1, 2007 The pour was dark brown and ruby. The head was off-white and nearly two-fingers tall. A restrained aroma of nuts, sugar and floral hops. The flavor is a bit on the timid side as well. Nutty malted flavor with a bit chocolate. The finish is more on the bitter side than I expected. Not cloying at all. Watery mouthfeel. A decent beer that isn’t offensive or adventurous. zombywoof (358), Shawnee, Kansas, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 23, 2007 Bottled. Not a bad beer. Hint of roasted malt. Little liight on the chocolate malts. Drinkable beer but nothing to go out of the way for. Rib Eye (143), USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 2, 2007 Quite a lovely brown ale! Sweet and rich with some candy and coffee flavors. Carmel macchiatto? 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Bottle: Deep brown, slight ruby, large foamy light beige head, sticky lacing.   Roasted malt nose, slight coffee, a bit earthy.
  On the tongue there seems to be a bit of lactose, otherwise a roasted malt bang, with a shot of stale coffee beans and unsweetned
malted milk balls.   Very soft notes of campfire or charred wood.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Slightly sticky on the
finish, and even a bit dry.   Fairly decent example.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 30, 2007 Bottle. Dark brown color. Caramel and red berries in both aroma and flavor. Sweet. Some herbal hops, with "Haagse hopjes" and a hint of licorice. Good beer, just a bit onedimensional. boboski (1095), Alabama, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 28, 2007 Small, slowly diminishing cream colored head sits atop a medium to drak brown body. Aroma has timid semi-sweet malts that are slightly nutty, along with coffee nuances and light earthy and citric hops. Flavor is moderately sweet, with reasonable acidity and healthy bitterness. Toffee and coffee are the primary components in mid-mouthfeel. Palate is watery but smooth, mildly grainy. Medium carbonation. Finishes grainy and sweet, moderate bitterness lingering, along with subtle nuttiness. BeerBellyOSU (47), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 28, 2007 Medium brown with red tinge, carmel colored head. Floral nose, smells like it could be kinda hoppy. While I find it very easy to drink, it has an unpleasant alcohol aftertaste.
