2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap in seoul. Nice brown color with offwhite head. The aroma is very mild with only a little bit of malt aroma. The taste is also very mild, but the slight nuttiness it does have is really enjoyable. Would buy this one
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: NOV 12, 2007 Pours beautifully - thick head and a nice copper-brown colour to the beer. Carbonation is lively but soft. Nice nutty flavour, with a definite malt presence up front. Hops are well-balanced. Not to everyone’s tastes, I’m sure, but it’s a well-made beer that’s worth a try if you like the style. This is probably a good cool-weather beer, so I’ll try it again in the fall.

Bottle; Red with the barest whisp of a head. Weird and strong aroma -- my first impression was "mushrooms" ... or maybe tomato sauce? Thanks God it doesn’t carry that to the flavor. Musty and metallic with an earthy hop finish. Different, to be sure. (#2892, 5/15/2007)
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very mild nutty malt aroma with some earthy hop notes. Clear copper body is topped by a fizzy and low off white head that recedes to a thin cover with marginal lacing. Clean, sweet nutty flavour with understated fruity esters and light bitterness. Medium light body with fizzy but soft textured carbonation. Tulip glass. Just above fridge temperature. Bottle (BCLS at 39th and Cambie, Apr-07).

cream ale in very malty aroma only, it was like an old ale in colour, light head. Somewhat sour bitter and dry finish.Still, at 4.5% two beers were fine at lunch.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From a can. Sweet malty aroma, pours with a lovely rich copper hue and a small off white head. Very malty flavour with some nutty notes, medium carbonation and hints of brown sugar in the finish. A nice ale.

Thank goodness, there were lots of bubbles, cause it didn’t taste like much else. Although the name did make up for some of the lack of taste. Not quite the Brown Ale I expected.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
341 mL bottle. Copper-red with minimal head. Weak and sweetish aroma of dried fruit - prunes and dates. Sweetness lingers throughout (not overly sweet), with just a hint of bitterness at the end. Finishes quickly. Not a lot else, though. The best beer I’ve had from Big Rock. Similar to Newcastle Brown.
