Dec 20, 2008 Poured a lgiht brown color with an off white head. Aroma was pretty bland and plain malty. Flavor was much the same with some hints of hops and spices. This was a very disappointing offering from such a great brewery.

Dec 20, 2008 Light piney hop, caramel, and baking spice aroma. Not a ton of flavor, just clean bready malt, really. Pretty boring, and not the level of beer one expects from Bells.

Dec 18, 2008 Wow am I going against the grain on this one. I had this on cask at Romans Pub. Ridiculously smooth body with an extremely balanced spiciness from the hops. Nice copper body with a velvet texture. This was really good. Very nice malt.

Dec 18, 2008 Bottles shared. Pours copper brown with small head. Aroma of bread malt, light hops, sweet malt. Taste is a very malty and a little spiced. Finish is smooth. Body is a little sticky. Overall, not very memorable. Glad I tried, but not a beer I would seek out.

Dec 18, 2008 Pours a copper color with beige head. The nose is malt, caramel, and hops. Comes across the palate rather weak with malt and light caramel. Also a bit over carbonated. It was a little disappointing.

Dec 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Aroma is malty, caramel, bready, and little bit of hops in the backing. Pours a translucent amber color with a thick tan head that lingers. Taste is got some of malt in there, roast, caramel, and has really nice carbonation. It is slightly heavy on the tongue, then goes into a bubbly aftertaste. Overall, Not the best representation of the style, but another solid beer for the good old brewery in Kalamazoo. Cheers!

Dec 17, 2008 Clear brown color with a small beige head. Aroma and flavor of malt, peat and some spices. Disappointing for Bells.
