3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Draught) Pours a deep burgandy with a thin white head. Aroma of rich malt, hops and molasses. Woody, spicy, and hops flavor.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cloudy murky brown with a thin tan head. Mild malty aroma has a touch of hops. Pretty thin bodied and dry with some off-balanced earthiness to it. Something probably went wrong with this sample.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at KP’s cellar bar. Thanks Kieth! Pours a dark brown, mostly clear, and nice lace. Aroma is nice and toasty and bready with slight nutty malts as well. Good malt sweetness mixed with fruity esters as well. Flavor profile still tasted pretty fresh despite this not being brewed in a while. Malty, clean toasted biscuit malt, and a clean finish. Nice.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy brown with amber highlights that produces a thin tan ring and minimal lace. The aroma hints of floral and piney hops, raosted malts, caramel and earthy yeast esters. The taste is piney and sappy, some sweet malt malt and biscuit background. Citric, woody and spicy supporting characteristics. The finish is very bitter. Dry and astringent mouthfeel. Unique and good beer, quaffable but a brown ale? Not really, more like a dark APA.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Tap at KP’s cellar. Poured a murky deep amber with a large light tan head. Aromas of malt, paper, and light spice. Flavor starts out malty then half way through becomes spicy and stays that way through finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cloudy brown, no head. Bready, grainy aroma. spicy and fairly full flavored, but a rather thin palate. Crisp, dry slightly woodsy finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brown in colour with a thin tan head. Malty smell with the addition of wet feet. Strong yeast and bread aroma as well. Medium-bodied; Silky mouthful; Malty flavour with a very mild hop profile. Aftertaste fairly malty and nothing special nor decadent. Overall, an average beer, really nothing too special. I had this beer on draught at Summit's in Sandy Springs (Atlanta), Georgia on 25-September-2003.
