3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a thin tan head and lots of carbonation throughout. Big malt aroma and taste but pretty one dimensional. A bit too sweet and overall kind of boring.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This pours a dark brown color with a light beige head. The scent is rather mild with hazelnuts. The taste is bold and nutty with a great blend of robust malts, caramel malts, and nuts. The texture is smooth and is an overall pretty good beer.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
I’ve read that back in the 19th century and south of the Thames, brown ales were the young Brit’s introduction to beer because they were sweet and weak in alcohol content. They were also popular with used car salesmen, according to George Melly. That’s fitting for Messiah because it’s sweet and easy to drink, but not necessarily interesting. Rusty brown color and light bodied.

Overall Impression:
This one is one of those "What the hell, I’ve never rated this?" beers for me. I know I have had this one plenty of times, but some how it has escaped rating until now. Anyway, this one is fine, it hits the marks for drinkability, but it really is nothing special.

Clear dark brown head with a nice cream head. Aroma is very nutty and toasty with a hint of syrup. Taste is nutty but a bit thin. Bitterness in the finish. Easy to drink.
