| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 2, 2009 Pretty mahogany color. Coffee and roasted aroma. Taste is toasty and chocolaty. Some bittering malts are present on the finish. Surprisingly a good brown ale, nice and balanced. Butters (1645), Virginia, USA

Weak toffee aroma. Flavor is nutty, toffee, and toasty. Slight alcohol burn on nose and tail end. Good session beer though. nbutler11 (741), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 28, 2009 On ta at the brwery. Pours a dark amber color with a trim tan head. Smells of toasted malts and faint caramel. Tastes of each, with an added note of green apples. Very approachable. PJClarke (620), London, Greater London, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 28, 2009 A little metallic throughout for me. Makes the back of my throat tense up something rotten. It has some nice flavours but this brings it down for me. Nice and light, could be something quite special if it wasn’t for the metallic tinge. smith4498 (866), Miami, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 26, 2009 Pours deep brown with tan head. Toasted malt aroma, caramel and hops. Flavors of caramel and chocolate with mild hoppiness. Medium body with average carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. DerBiermeister (510), Birmingham, Alabama, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 25, 2009 This is a tasty brew with a complex palate. Somewhat hoppy, but with very hard to pinpoint notes of other unusual tastes of chocolate, black malts, with fruit(s), etc. Probably the best beer of the night.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle upon Tyne. The intense hoppiness of this beautiful, chocolate brown beer hit me immediately, along with the citrusy tang of grapefruit, in the taste. Chocolate creeps in, mid-drink and the citrus becomes reasonably predominant. The head poured thick and off-white. I’ve had this before I started doing ratings and had forgotten how good it was. Three of their bottled beers are regularly available here in the UK, wish there was more. Truly excellent. Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Bottle. Body-very dark brown with a touch of very thick ring of bubbles. Fresh tobacco, leather, smells like a Brown Ale. Wow. Brown Ale. American Amber and Brown Ales-two styles that should be done away with for the common good of man. Taste-better than the nose, cinnamon, mace, chewing tobacco, chestnuts, dry barn flavor, a very slight hint of baker’s chocolate, lemon/lime. Good for a Brown Ale, but that isn’t exactly a compliment.
