| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 30, 2007 Poured from a bottle. Will say that the bottle said best by January 2007 and I had it in June 2007, however, still a very good beer. Poured dark brown with a thin white head. Had a malty, nutty smell. Tasted of biscuity-malt. Also had hints of chocolate, nuts and caramel. If this bottle is past its prime, I would love to have one that is not. nick76 (2656), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 25, 2007 The aroma has caramel, biscuits, hops, yeast, and chocolate. The appearance is red/brown with a foamy head. The flavor is a little underwhelming, it’s not bad but the bitterness dominates the roasted sweet caramel goodness that the style needs. The palate is smooth. Overall a nice beer. BeerBiker (1392), Kathmandu, Nepal
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2007 Updated: Dec 8, 2007[Sampled at Dexter.] Maybe my favorite of the "normal" brown ales. Full of ingredients, hops, spices, coffee, fruit, complex, bitterness and a long nice time lasts it to swallow this nice brew! bdigital (586), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Very good brew. Dark brown in color with scents of coffee, hops, malt, and caramel. Very smooth mouth feel. Tastes of chocolate, coffee, hops, malt and has a very silky finish to it. Excellent beer. Parksy (40), Alberta, Canada

Wow, this is very hoppy with a slight caramel to it. The malt comes through in the flavour with a big hop jolt in the finish, a very solid brown ale. ChainGangGuy (2555), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 9, 2007 Appearance: Dark red-brown body with a tan head that disappeared almost instantly.
Smell: A nearly nonexistent aroma of chocolate and cherries.
Taste: Indistinct, weak tastes of chocolate and coffee with traces of bitterness leading into a dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Slightly watery.
Drinkability: Very average. Far too bland and ordinary for me to seek out again in the future. Ingevara (523), Hindås, Sweden
