| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 13, 2008 12 ounce bottle- poured out a strong tea color with a tall tan head that lasted the whole glass. Aroma was a great mix of malt and toffee. The caramel laced taste and cream smooth texture of this beer will make it hard to beat. Excellent. ThaBobfather (178), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 11, 2008 Much like the Black Lager that came in this mix pack this is weak. I really am not a fan. It has a very average feel to it and is less than the brown ales I’ve had before. aubucs (15), Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 8, 2008 12 oz bottle poured in to a pint glass. Clear, tea colored beer with streaming carbonation and an off white head that is holding well. Smell is all malt and caramel. Poor mouthfeel, kind of light for the style. Flavor is malty, but not necessarily very good. I would drink it if my options were limited, but would not seek it out. Hollywoodt (174), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 4, 2008 Bottle. Poured a medium brown color with minimal white head. Aroma was of sweet malt and perhaps a touch of caramel. Flavor was slightly hoppy with some nuttiness. Good carbonation. Fairly thin. mclovin80 (11), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 27, 2008 One of the best Sam Adams brews. A good beer to drink when you want to take your time and enjoy a beer with flavor. ebrowner88 (113), Rice, Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Apr 26, 2008 Pours deep coppery brown with 1 finger head that leaves a good lacing. Nose is not very forthcoming but what is there is malty sweet. Taste is not as sweet as I would expect. Impression is very much of rasted nuts and slightly dry. Not that impressive. Drinkable but would not buy again as their are several browns in this price range that taste much better. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Smooth and malty, with just a hint of nuttiness, almost develops an earthiness to it as it warms, not bad, but not great. checkmatei1 (630), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Bottle: Pours a dark brown. The aroma was malty caramel. The flavor was very sweet for a brown ale. It was smooth however, just not my favorite brown ale.
