| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 19, 2009 Okay, confession. The last 30 or so ratings I’ve had out of the bottle, and I don’t know what exact hue this beer is, but I’m guessing brown. Smell is toasty, cocoa-y malt. Taste is dry, cocoa and chocolate malt, nuts and a touch of fresh hops to give it a bright freshness and slight bitterness to cut through the malts. Pretty good for a brown ale and something I’d get again when I’m in the mood for one. SDalkoholic (1192), Chula Vista, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 16, 2009 Bottle from Pizza Port bottle shop: Poured a dark brown color with a thick fluffing of foamy head. Aromas detected were a decent amount of toasted malts and an assortment of nuts both dry and smelling like they had been cooked or burnt. The flavor is delicate and smooth with lightly toasted malt that is both sweet and dry. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 11, 2009 Unknown Date (2007?): Avery Ellie’s Brown Ale pours a clear brown color with an off-white head. A slight amount of choclate and roasted malts can be found in the aroma. The flavr has some chocolate and caramelized malts, but is grainy in the middle. It has some light coffee in the finish and is somewhat sweet overall. This beer has a medium-light body.
Bottle (sample). Rating #601 for this beer.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 9, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 7/9/09
Aroma: On first whiff I got mostly chocolate and roasted malts, going a little deeper, I find some nuttiness, some caramel, a bit of vanilla, and touch of sugar
Appearance: Nice dark brown looking color, slight red hue, minimal light brown head, leaves spotty lacing on the glass
Flavor: A nice malty flavor, you can really taste the nice complex mix of flavors that they have going on here to bring about a nice brown ale flavor
Palate: Medium bodied beer, that drinks smoothly without sacrificing flavor
Overall Impression:
I like this beer. It’s nothing crazy, but a solid, nicely made brown with a good mix of flavors. hophead21112 (118), Louisville (LEWISville), Colorado, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 6, 2009 Northern English Brown style. Clear garnett and mahogany pour with a two finger light tan head, nice retention, sticky lace. Roasted nutty aroma with nuts. Tastes like... hmmm... nuts, coffee bitterness, biscuit. Medium-light body, medium carbonation. It is a beer that is brewed to style. Not my favorite style, can’t take away points for that reason only. osu97gp (171), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2009 Pours a dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts and chocolate. Flavor of caramel, chocolate, coffee, apples, nuts, and bread. There is also a slight earthy hops taste. It has a smooth thick palate. A pretty good complex beer.
