| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 5, 2007 THE BEER DOES HAVE A DEEP FLAVOR FEEL TO IT. it is not overdone but still carries a nice malt feel flavor and body. still it is refreshing. the flavor is of caramel with some nut and a nice fruit, more dark fruit flavor. the hop profile is tingly and it complements well. overall this is quite a good brown. they gave this brew some real good attention (i like the alcohol profile very much) and quality sweetness. aobecksy (661), Middle of no where, Ohio, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2007 12 oz bottle from Albertsons. Pours a dark brown color with a sudsy off-white head that has plenty of lacing and last a while. The aroma was medium in strength with notes of anise, caramel and toffee. The flavor highlighted black licorice, coffee, biscuit and malts. The hops make a showing toward the finish which was long and smooth. The mouthfeel was full, creamy and malty. Overall: this is a rather good beer, much better than recent reviews would suggest. Recommended shakespeare33 (120), san diego, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 30, 2007 12oz bottle from a sam adams mix and match sixer.. Pours an amber brown with a creamy head.. smells of heavier, potent hops but lacks that punch to the palate..There are hints of nutmeg and a piney carbination following. Similar to most uninspiring brown ales, Im not a brown ale fan and this didnt change my opinion CelticBrew (691), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 28, 2007 Pours a clear brown color with a decent sized off white head. Nice malty, nutty aroma. Toasty malt, with a biscuity dough accent, nutty, caramel note, with a sweet toffee aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate. Finished dry with toasted malt flavor. A good and drinkable ale. lumberjack (178), Michigan, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 28, 2007 Typical looking brown. Aroma and flavor is slightly roasted malts with a decent hop balance. Goes very flat quickly like other Sam Adams brews I’ve tried. Pretty boring really.
