Nov 30, 2007 The aroma was nice with a bready and biscuity nature and dark fruits, on the light side, but still raisins and prunes. A nutty chocolate was also notable. The beer poured into the glass with particulates, but otherwise clear golden brown with a low off-white head which tried to lace the glass a little. The flavor was malty with chocolate and more of those dark fruits, once again on the light side, and a nutty and bready flavor. The bittering was just enough to keep the malt, including any caramel, in check. The finish was dry with lasting light bready/biscuity toast flavors into the aftertaste. The body was medium and the carbonation was moderate. A nice Brown ale, not your standard fare, but still a good pint. 12 ounce bottle. Batch 8156.

Nov 29, 2007 Tap. Rich and sweet malt/nut flavor. A good porterish brown ale, though not the best out there.

Nov 24, 2007 12 oz. bottle. Pours out a hazy deep amber/brown color with a great frothy head. Aroma is bitter and sharp with sweet notes and some what funky. The flavor I get is bitter nuts with faint caramel. Alcohol evident and finishes dry. Seems to be a simple one dimensional brew. I don’t understand it, I was expecting a much better product. I will try it again and re-rate in a few weeks to if I got a bad bottle or I may be off tonight.

Nov 24, 2007 Pours brown (obviously) with an attractive soapy tan head. The aroma has lightly sweet toasted malt with some nuttiness, light spice and dark caramel. Medium / light crisp body with semi-sharp prickly carbonation. The flavor starts with toasted malt, thick nuttiness, spicy hops and just a hint of astringency. The finish has more hops then lingering rich British style brown ale maltiness. A decent brown ale.

Nov 17, 2007 Bottle. Pours full brown with minimal off-white head that laces little. It is clear. Nutty caramel malt aroma. A touch bitter, dry with a nutty sweet flavor. Very smooth medium bodied with a lingering dryness.

Nov 17, 2007 For a brown ale this beer is very well done. It has lots of flavors as most browns do. Caramelly and nutty, with a bitter finish. It tastes parts of a pale ale to me, a little bit.

Nov 15, 2007 This one’s better if not too cold. Not a traditional brown; there are some interesting things going on the malt and yeast that make for an interesting finish.

Nov 11, 2007 A decent brown ale from Bell’s but nothing exceptional. Not much of an aroma. A very light brown ale.
