3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
An older rating lost and forgotten about in my wallet. Sampled at the Liar’s Club! Deep opaque brown with a creamy head. Sweet malt and pungent spice aroma. Tastes of chocolate, grain, and citrus, but nothing as distinct as orange and rye. Decent but a little odd.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours dark brown with a thin, creamy tan head, specks of lace. Smells subdued dark, sweet malty. Tastes pretty good. Dark, chocolatey malts up front, with some orange flavor in the middle and a lingering malty roastiness. Nice. Medium body, good carbonation.

On Tap @ PP Carlsbad. This was a lot of fun with lots of interesting flaovors mixed together. I really enjoyed it.

Sampled at Stone Brewing; It was nutty and roasted both in the flavor and aroma.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Stone; aroma of roasted malt and a brown ale-ish aroma; also some good coffee. Flavor was very caramelly and roasted; grassy and earthy finish; a bit of fruit. Goljubj like it at a 3.5 rating noting that it was nutty and roasted both in the flavor and aroma.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Stone. Dark brown color. Medium to heavy body. Small to no head. Aroma of some roasted grains is mild and under control I don’t like too much of it, then it tastes like cigarette butts. Leans sweet. OK.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark brown with a small head and ok lacing. The aroma is of coffee and orange peel. The flavor is of coffee, nuts, oak, rye and chocolate. A somewhat dry texture. A good beer, but nothing special.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Stone. Pours with a murky brown body and a small off-white head that goes quickly. Aroma of coffee, some orange peel. Taste is coffee, some orange peel, chocolate powder, roasted malts. Fizzy mouthfeel and kind of dry. Odd for the ABV.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Hamiltons. Pours with a dark brown body with a reddish hue topped by a thin to medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s full of roasty malt notes, spicy notes and some coffee notes with an underlying bitter hoppiness. Medium to full bodied and smooth.
