| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a very dark amber color with a small off white head that diminishes very quickly to nothing. The aroma is rich malt with chocolate, and roasted nut. The taste is similar to the aroma with a rich roasted malt with a lot of coffee flavor. Easy to drink and a very good brown ale from Brooklyn. jmm635 (254), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Deep brown color with a slightly off-white head. Strong malty aroma with hints of caramel and toffee. Flavor is very similar to coffee ice cream. Too much in my opinion. Not very drinkable. Steely (162), , Sweden

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 4, 2008 Poured a dark mahogany brown into a pint glass with a finger of head that dissipated into some decent lacing. Aroma was nutty and also had some nice roasted malt scent. Taste was malty and nutty with some chocolate and coffee overtones. A nice amount of hops (more than something like a Newcastle for comparison’s sake) finished an excellent, drinkable brew. BMan1113VR (2814), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 3, 2008 On tap. Pours a very dark brown with a frothy, light brown head. Aroma is a bit hoppy with some nuts and caramel. Taste is nutty and very malte with some banana esters and coffee. Not very full bodied at all, water like mouthfeel, light carbonation.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Rich brown, deep color with small head. Gorgeously clean robust malt nose. Solid carbonation, hits a great palate pocket. Impressively smooth and easy. No flash at all. Just a solid beer. illidurit (876), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Bottle at 515 in Santa Cruz. Poured into pint glass. Clear brownish red with a finger of tan head that leaves some modest lacing. Aromas of burnt grain and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet, with nutty dark malts. A touch of cocoa and an even smaller touch of hops. Mouthfeel is dry with a little roasty bitterness. Smooth but a little too roasty for my tastes. Good drinkability, solid beer.
