2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours dark brown from tap without much aroma. It tastes line burned popcorn and the finish is a bit watery. My least favorite beer so far that I’ve had here.

This was one of the best Brown Ales that i have had in a while. The color was a deep brown and the aroma was very malty and sweet. The taste was sweet with a nice mouthfeel. Great beer.

2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured a clear dark amber color with slight fizzy head. Aroma was pretty plain though a bit sweet and cola like. Flavor is malty, molases, and a tad bit of nut undertone. Overall, not bad, but not great. Would skip in the future.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the brewery. Dark deep amber with lots of malt, licorice, grapes and fruit, sweet but drinkable.Has a nice clean bitter finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
From a growler purchased on 10.19.08. The price was right, $10.73 including all taxes.
Aroma is smoke, molasses, some faint spicing. Flavor is smoky with anise and thin malt body with balanced hops bitterness and something else I can’t put my finger on. I think that this beer is pretty refreshing with a nostalgic feel.
I love cheapdark’s description, kind of sums up this nostalgic autumn feeling: "Reminds me of a candy I had as a child, bought it at Mary’s on Monaca road."
2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Oh yes oh yes oh yes, just had it today on tap at the works...... Looks like root beer with a tea froth head. Interesting aroma like no other and this aroma carries on thru to the flavor. Woodsy and damp if you know what I mean, like waking up on a cold autum night in a damp forrest. Quite indescribable. Reminds me of a candy I had as a child, bought it at Mary’s on Monaca road. Woody character. Interestingly offensive without being over the top. Not bad for a different kind of brew. Bitterness which lasts for a while on the finish. Way too expensive, $3 for a 4 oz sample. Chew on some dead damp branches which you grab on yer way thru the grove.

On-Tap @ Church Brew Works
Poured medium brown. Frothy, creamy off-white head. Aroma of faint malts. Flavor very roasty, smokey malts. Sweet caramel aftertones. There were flavors present that I couldn’t figure out what they were. Complex brew. Medium bodied. Good carbonation, fizzy, tingly, mouthfeel.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Crystal clear, dark caramel ale with a small, quickly diminishing head. No lacing. Funky aroma is a mix of rootbeer, ginger ale, cola and chocolate. The flavor pretty much matches the aroma. Kind of funky, but not totally unpleasant. Medium-bodied with a silky mouthfeel and pillow-soft carbonation. Lengthy, lightly pungent, chocolatey finish.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dull brown rootbeer clear color, no head. Light malt character with some tanginess, not a lot of hops. Pretty watery and unremarkable, though not the worst brown ale I’ve had.
