| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 5, 2007 Bottle-Straight up brown ale. Nice brown color with some carbonation. The aroma was full of caramels and roasted malts. The taste was of the same with some nuttiness tossed in. Raphaelle (3), Austin, Texas, USA does not count | 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 5, 2007 Delicious aroma, caramel, roasty, and a little nutty, the slight bitterness is a welcome flavor to balance out the sweetness of the caramel. Not bad for a mass produced beer! After a few minutes of warming, the flavors are even more pronounced. Acknud (772), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Aug 2, 2007 Not my favorite Sam Adams. Pours a pretty brown with a light amber head. Lively carbonation with a burnt malt finish riversideAK (2670), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 1, 2007 Got a sweet chocolate malt aroma. Poured light brown with red undertones. Flavor is Newcastle, but a little bit more lively carbonation and a little more bitter and roasty in the finish. Rather light and easy to drink.A tad bit more enjoyable than the Boston Lager.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 27, 2007 Aroma is rich and malty, with strong undertone of molasses and a nip of salt. It pours a nice transparent brown, a rather pretty color. Flavor is strongly malty, some hop hints and a little sweetness, just a touch of bitterness and a little smokiness. It feels a little thin, but is still a very enjoyable ale. CheersMate1 (785), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 27, 2007 This beer has a decent roasted caramel smell. I smell some nut fllavor, but it is very subtle. The smell is not to my lliking it is not that interesting. The beer doesn’t look bad; dark caramel brown beer, with smell loose head. The beer has an interesting taste. The beer has a decent sweet roasted flavor to it. The beer is very thin and it lacks the body that a great ale should have. Other than the semi-sweet notes, and the roasted flavor this beer is simply mediocre. emobassfoo (178), Webster, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 26, 2007 Pours a color somewhere between 3/5 red and 2/5 brown. A fluffy white head lays on top. Nice lacing too. Smells tasty. Like baked goods! Makes me want to bite into glass like its some sort of chocolate-filled candy. Taste is a little weaker than i expected but retains more of that pastry malty aroma. Clean and crisp on the tongue, and very drinkable. Good brew! Codythegreat (141), Carrollton, Georgia, USA
