| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Sep 18, 2009 Beautiful appearance - chestnut brown, no haze, light tan head that retains well. Good stuff.
Nose is modest & light with baked brownbread and light caramel. The caramel comes through on the palate as well, with more of the bready component that was noted in the nose. Finish is medium and somewhat sweet.
Easy drinking.

It has a tasty flavor of roast caramel malt and nuts with some mild hops in the background. A little thin but smooth nonetheless. SSSteve (2056), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Appearance: Amber brown with a foamy head. Okay head retention.
Aroma: Dark caramel, nuts, slight off metallic scent. Fairly straight forward for a brown.
Taste: Slightly sour hop note. Light nuttiness and some husk notes. Okay, but a bit light in the flavor department. As the beer warms I get a bit of cardboard.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium-light, dry mouthfeel. Short, tasteless finish.
Overall: A pretty mediocre and possibly slightly oxidized brown. Skip this one. Even if fresh, I am not sure it would be all that great.
