3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Average brown ale, bit watery. Pours a medium brown with small head. Pretty sweet, malty, very light mouthfeel. Flavor is decent but watery. Have had better.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nothing to write home about, but not the worst beer I have had. Nicely brown-sugary, slightly fruity as promised. A slightly fuller version of Samuel Adams - and quite smoother.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: OCT 6, 2008 Pours an amber hue with little to no head or lacing. Definitely can taste the roasted malt and caramel flavor. Thin body; smooth on the palate. Not as complex as the bottle label states. All in all, this is a very sessionable, good tasting brown ale. I’ll look for this again.

Dark brown pour with fluffy tan head. Aroma of malt and toffee along with a hint of dark fruit. Has a medium to light body and tastes of light caramel and lightly toasted malt (exactly what the commercial description says). I thought this was a fine brown ale. I’d find it real easy to drink a lot of these. There could be a slight bit more taste overall but still a fine beer. I’d like to try this one on tap.

Bottle. Darkish roasted carmel malt aroma. Hazy ruby brown color with a low beige head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. The flavor is roasted malt with an odd fruity/floral/herb aspect. It’s a bit sweet, and there’s not enough bitter to balance it. I’ve been through Yorkshire, and I don’t think this is it, but it’s a pretty good drink.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewery. Clear medium amber with creamy small off-white head. Aroma is sweet fruit, red fruit, orange, very nice, not brown ale but nice and caramel. Sweet banana, caramel, light red apple, candy sugar, a little cloying. Medium to thin body and creamy. Nice aroma but a little too sweet.

Bottled. A slightly hazy dark amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, leading to a bitter and slightly dry finish. Thanks Papsoe.

(Bottle 48 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a hazy amber with a small, off-white head. Lightly burned caramel in the nose. A little thin in body with fruit and caramel accents - some overripe fruit also. Very subdued bitterness. 120108
