Comes out of the tap a semi-transparent chocolaty brown with a fine-bubbled pale tan head. Aroma is of average strength, malty and slightly chocolaty. Rich malty flavor has cocoa undertone along with nutty and caramel hints as well as just a whisper of fine coffee. Texture is thick, fairly smooth and nicely fizzy.

Dec 16, 2009 Dark red-orange, fizzy beige cover. Toasty, bready, caramel aroma. Taste is nicer, some sweetness, caramel, cocoa, light toasted bread, a bit of a grassy finish.

Dec 11, 2009 This is a very good brown ale - up there with Broolyn Brown ale. Pours deep brown, rich but not overpowering aromas spot-on for the style. Taste is a bit dry, deep maltiness that only comes out with time with just enough bitterness. Exemplary.

Dec 10, 2009 This ale poured a ddark orange colour with a big frothy, tan coloured head. To the nose there are scents of candy, caramel, sweet malts and a little ripe fruit. First taste was very smooth and medium bodied with flavours of caramel, malt and a very small hopp flavour. Finish is slightly bitter with hopp and caramel flavours lingering.

Dec 8, 2009 Copper color with nice white head which left some lacing. Rich malty and toasty nose. Clean malty flavor with some bitterness to finish with. Clean finish. American in style with more hop presence. Body is middle-of-the-road but to style. Another good brew from Bells

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle, poured a light amber brown with off white small foam head. Light malts and caramel on the nose. The pallet had a malt consist with a dry caramel light roast. Can’t say this was a rich beer but rather lacked body, kind of a let down.

Nov 30, 2009 12 oz bottle, fresh batch. Pours a light brown, clear with an off-white head. Nose nutty and caramel malt. Flavor is caramel malt, slightly nutty, fairly dry with a touch of bitterness at the finish. Drinkable, light mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Browns aren’t my thing for the most part to start with. Well-made (nothing off) but not particularly interesting to me.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottled. With tons of carbonation this beer looks murky orange brown and alive. Aroma is of raisins, sweeter caramel, and very little nuttiness. Even lighter notes of an almost citrus apple thing. Flavor is sweet but moves towards a more toasted feel by ending. Although not biting it balances well. Lighter hop notes create some grassier floral tones behind the more syrupy sweeter malts. I’ll self admit I’m a sucker for brown ales but this is a damn good brew!
