  1. This is one of the beers Fluke Homebrew entered into the Great Northern Brew-Ha-Ha in Duluth, MN. We miss entered this beer as a Porter in the comp and still scored decent. Here are the judges comments from the comp:

    "This would make a very good brown ale but doesn't seem appropriate for porter category. As a brown ale I would have scored this around 40. Nice beer" - Jeff Ryan

    "Very drinkable beer. I would have score higher in a different category. May do well in American Brown Ale." - Jolene Mclaughoin BJCP recognized judge

    "Enter in Am. brown and this should score better" - Nacy Bowser BJCP national judge
