| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 18, 2008 A good SA beer. Malty and a tad bit of sweetness. Hops are present at finish, but barely. Worth drinking, but there are cetainly better beers to be had. caesar (3036), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 25, 2006 Bottle. Sweet maple syrup malt aroma. Brownish copper color with small head. Light slightly sweet maple syrup malt flavor - slightly acidic with moderate carbonation. Decent taste but not much body. presario (3010), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2007 Deep copper. Rich head that crackles as it subsides. Sweet malt aroma with hop notes.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 2, 2008 Watery aroma capped by moderate malts and hops. Average creamy off-white head covering a clear, medium brown body. Extremely watery taste and a watery mouthfeel with light astringency on the finish. Not a great choice for my first brown ale. Dogbrick (2925), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Mar 6, 2006 Pours dark reddish brown with a medium light tan head and decent lacing. The aroma is pretty nice, with toasted malt and nuts primarily. Medium-bodied and relatively smooth with a good malt foundation, with some nuts and hops as well. The finish is thin but has a nice roasty malt flavor while it lasts. If the finish were more robust this would be a really great session beer, as it stands it’s still above average. skortila (2915), Bunnik, Netherlands
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 11, 2006 Aroma of caramel sweetness and some hops. Clear, brown coloured with a lasting, off-white head. Taste is sweet, caramelly, bit spicy, slighly hoppy, sparkling, nutty. Not really impressive. 5000 (2900), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 24, 2007 Bottle: Dark amber, moderate beige head, foamy, clingy lacing, strong carbonation.   Malty nose, slightly biscuity.   Rich malty flavor, a bit tangy.   Not as heavy or even roasty as other Browns.   Lighter, but still fairly decent.   Body and mouthfeel are average.   Finish however is a bit lacking.   Seems to fade quickly, leaving a slight astringent malt background.   It is okay, but after having the Black Lager not that long ago I was thinking this too would be another surprise.   Nope... basic Sam Adams I must say.   Decent, but nothing out of the ordinary.
