| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2006 Dark brown with small tan head. Very appealing aroma of chocolate, nuts and malts. Warm, roasty finish. A very enjoyable brown ale. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 10, 2006 Slightly disappointing, with a smooth, but kind of sour, bittersweet chocolate flavor, with a fairly watery aftertaste. Nice nuttiness, with a dry roasted peanut thing going on as it warms. Finishes lingering, but overall kind of one sided. Quixote18 (230), Johnson City, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 8, 2006 Poured from bottle into a shaker glass, it had a hazy mahogany body and a short-lasting tan head. This humble-looking beer made up ground in aroma by having a rich, toasty malt scent balanced by some mellow hops that I could not put my finger on. The flavor definitely delivers on the toasty chocolate malts that the aroma promised. I thought that this brew was fairly smooth and easy to drink. It was full enough to coat the tongue without being sticky. hophead75 (1954), Boonton, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 7, 2006 dark brown with some ruby highlights. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, some fruitiness. Taste is about the same, thin palate, with a slightly roasted bitter finish. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 2, 2006 Bottle. Pours a dark copper body with a medium-sized, soapy, tanned head. The aroma is reasonably toasty, creamy hazelnuts, and some bread. The body seemed a bit thin and watery at times but others moments contained flavours of chocolate and vast nuttiness. Good.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 26, 2006 One of the better brown ales that I’ve enjoyed. Chocolate in flavor, with a sweet taste. HogTownHarry (4002), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 25, 2006 Bottle (12oz). Very lively, swirly pour, deep clear chestnut brown with a large lasting fizzy-foamy tan head. Very mild aroma, but what’s there is nice - roast coffee/chocolate malt, tart grape, soft bitter hops, lightly grainy and earthy. Taste is very similar, light hops, quite roasty, almost a tobacco flavour, grapeseed and decided dirt-like (in a mostly good way). Slightly weak bodied, almost flat, quick off the palate - very tasty but ephemeral. Skinnyviking (4157), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 21, 2006 Bottle. Off-white longlasting creamy head. Hazy dark ruby body. Aroma of berries, slightly acidic flavor without being sour. Guess I’ll have to try it again later for actually this one did not taste of much. Had expected more.
