Nov 6, 2007 Pours an amber colour with large particulates and small creamy off white head. Aroma is musty, Metallic and light fruits. Fizzy carbonation on the palate. Nuts, german malts and mild caramel malts brings in the intial taste. Moving into a lighter finish with mild fruit and bitter dry hops. Good Lacing of the glass and slight head retention. Medium body. Slight sticky lips/mouthfeel. I would say this is well balanced brew, but not what I was expecting from a Bells product. However it is very drinkable.

Nov 4, 2007 Bottle. Cloudy amber color with a very subtle average smell. Okay flavor but fairly metallic. I feel the desire for more malt.

Nov 3, 2007 Beautifully hypnotizing darker cider swirling unfiltered beer pour. Just plain good yeasty beer aroma. Tingly fine bubbles on the palate. Generous amounts of bitter medicine greets the palate. Lasting back of throat and top of tongue soapy finish. A little too much for my girly tatse buds. More bitter than the average amber ale.

Nov 1, 2007 I got this as a gift under the name Big Porch Ale. I am not a HUGE Amber fan but this is one of the best I have had. Nice copper color. Mild head. Decent body. Mild malt/nut aroma. Mild malt,caramel taste that went down VERY easy. Surprised that I have had this as the original several times and not rated it. Probably more of a GOOD weekend beer than a SPECIAL one.
