| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 16, 2009 It seems to me that Sam Adams beers do mild very well. Dry, refreshing, a bit sour, no chalkiness, nice mild hoppiness, caramel, nutty, toasty, musty, a bit of fruitiness hidden in there. Good, easy to drink, which I think is a quality that is frequently missing from darker beers (not that a sipper beer is bad, but here, quaffability is a definite plus) mrhoppy (209), Santa Clara, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 15, 2009 As with a lot of BBC beers not over the top and very drinkable and well made. This one has really good flavor. Could be a touch fuller, rounder. Caramely, toasty and slightly musty. Dry finish. arventresca (338), Greenville, North Carolina, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 15, 2009 Bottle. Pours brown with creamy white head. Aroma of malt and hops. As far as brown ales go this one is a little more on the hopy side. Not a bad offering, but not as strong a some other browns. brewski519 (403), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 14, 2009 Pours a mahogany color with a thin head - aroma of malt, caramel, toffee and sugar. Flavor is malty with caramel, faint nuttiness and sweetess. Moderate carbonation as expected in a brown ale. This one won’t move the top of the list of favorite Sam Adams brews though - adequate at best. grimreaperguru (15), santee, California, USA
