Small to medium sized white foamy head, with decent retention and nice lacing. The aroma is caramel, fruity and sweet, touch of chocolate. A medium bodied brown ale. The malts are caramel and nutty. The hops are lightly earthy. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Hints of chocolate and toasty bread, Some nuttiness at the finish. Very nice. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. smart001 (44), Scott AFB, Illinois, USA

There is a taste in this beer that makes it not so great, I do not know what it is. I probably will not drink it again. Sorry for the useless rating. BeerBunker (607), Burbank, Illinois, USA

Nothing amazing in the aroma. Taste is of toasted malt, brown sugar, grass, slight chocolate, and weak hops. Mouthfeel is light, fizzy, and carbonated. Taste is weak as well. Nothing all that amazing. kiefdog (1586), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 20, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown with a quickly vanishing tan-white head. Sweet malty aroma, almost smells like bubblegum. Tastes like earthy brown malt with sweet bubblegum aftertaste. Very slightly watery for my taste. A decent brown, but nothing too impressive.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Pours a reddish brown with a small off white froth. Aroma is all malty and candyish sweet, kind of that circus peanut aroma. Maybe just a bit of nuttiness and a slight metallic note. Flavor starts with a big sweet character and almost has a weird smokiness. The flavor gets a bit better as it gains a creamy nuttiness but falls flat in the finish with a sharp metallic note. Medium body and a sharp carbonation. Not a very good brown.
