Downtown Brown not rated by Becky, but the note was made: The brown ale would make a quite good red ale, but falls short as a brown.

Bombay IPA: Fairly light copper color. Not much hop aroma. Very minimal head. Body is good. There isn't much of an initial taste. The hops show up in the swallow. It needs more malt to present more of an initial taste and to balance the hops in the swallow. 8.0

Isle of Skye Scottish Ale: Medium to dark brown color. No head. A pleasant malty taste. Some hop taste shows up in the finish. Body is appropriate for the style. Not a particularly memorable beer, but it is well made. Warms up fine. 8.3

90 Schilling Ale: Deep chestnut color. Thin but lasting head. Malty scotch aroma. Sweet flavor, full mouthfeel, good body for the style. Starts out cold as a decent beer, warms up much more a scotch/barleywine style, albeit quite a sweet one. It's a good winter warmer type. 8.4
