2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours deep brown with medium tan head. Aroma of roasty malt, corn flakes, chocoff, some figs. Tastes roasty malty, with chocoff. Lighter in palate and complexity than the aroma would suggest. Not bad.

2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark Raspberry aroma , clean and pleasant . Flat in taste , as some lesser brown can be . Not as bad as some might think . Average .
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark brown color, small head with a malty aroma. Toffee flavor, not very hoppy. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is malty. Spectacularly unimpressive brown ale. Drinkable and better than BUD.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz bottle. Clear dark mahogany color with bubbly khaki head. Heavy molasses nose that competes for aromatic supremecy with the strong raisin smell. Flavor is roasty and chocolatey with a delicate sweetness. Medium bodied with a flat finish.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle: Roast and nutty aroma. Dark transparent reddish brown with a decent off white head with good retention. Flavor is almost all roasty nuttiness with a little sweetness in the background. Roasty stale hopp finish with something in the finish that I can´t pinpoint. It´s not pleasant though.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured a translucent brown color with an ok head and lacingg that was ok. Aroma on this one was hard to pick up, maybe some toasted malts. The fflavor was an odd liquor type flavor in the front of everything (sorry, I don’t know my liquors, nor can I say this was high abv, but boy, it was liquor sweet and sharp). Bitter nuts picked up mid-glass and as it warmed some sweet type candy came out. Too strong of an odd liquor type flavor in this one to be great.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
They must be messing around with the formula on this one some from what other raters encountered. Mine was very dark, almost porter dark. Ruby brown black in color. Not a whole lot of head. This beer is essentially an ode to chocolate malts. A bit of hops on the finish, but the taste of chocolate malts dominate throughout. Easy to drink, but not spectacular by any means. Nothing wrong, but very average.
