| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 7, 2008 Bottle at Beer Bistro, Toronto, November, 2007. Brooklyn calls this a mix between dry north English brown ales and sweeter ones from south England. I enjoy the hop character in this, apparent right from the pour, brown with an aromatic, sweetness in the head and subtle hop character. Medium mouthfeel. I taste caramel with chocolate, sweetness, vanilla, then hop bitterness and licorice in the finish. BeerGestapo (738), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 28, 2008 (USA) Pours a nice brown color with a dissipating tan head. Aroma is of hops, dark malts, and some chocolate. The taste has a toffee, malt, flavor with a hint of chocolate. The mouthfeel is kind of smoky with a bit of a dry finish. Would go very nice with a meal. RunDWP (203), San Jose, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 27, 2008 Bottle. Brown color (duh!). Nutty aroma, fairly straightfoward malt and nutty taste, with a sligth chocolate note. No malty sweetness, just a straightforward nutty flavor. I had a slight old bottle, so it might have been a little tired. ucusty (1881), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 26, 2008 12 oz bottle poured into a shaker. Poured a dark mahogany color with a two finger tan head. Flavor was of sweet malt, nuts and smoke. Flavor was slightly nutty with malt dominating. A slight hoppy bite on the end. Medium bodied with good carbonation. My only knock on this beer is that it is slightly too light. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 22, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet malty aroma. Dark reddish brown color, small tan head. Flavor has some nuts and sweetness, with smokiness in the finish. Hops give it some bite, but overall the mouthfeel is a little thin. Still, a good one. Gethinbeer (1001), Nova Scotia, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 19, 2008 Cheers Joe Mcphee for this one. Smoked, caramel, heavenly sweet and malty aroma. Great slight off white head. Nutty flavour, slick flavoursome ale. Well balanced, little bit of liquorice, perfect bitterness. Roasted malt. Great rich flavour, maybe a little to rich for my taste but makes out to be one of my favourite Brown ales. Lovely. DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 17, 2008 Aroma is full of dark malts, chocolate most present. It’s color is dark brown, with a thin white head. It’s flavor is balanced with hops and dark malts. It’s chocolate characters are the most noticable. It’s a great session, with lots of flavor. Very good.
