| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 5, 2005 Brown/amber in color with a nice off white head. Aroma is slightly sweet, with earthy notes and a hint of roastiness. Flavor is much the same but very subdued and nothing overpowering. Some nuttiness in the middle. Medium bodied with a clean finish. A very good brown ale, easy to drink and very refreshing. smoosh (523), New Albany, Indiana, USA

Sweet malty aroma of toffee and caramel. Taste is quite bitter of floral hops with some nutty maltiness. Nice one. LiebeBier (799), Annapolis, Maryland, USA

Clear, medium reddish-brown with a thick and full tan head that holds well. Rich, malty aroma with a fair amount of spiciness from the use of Belgian malts, as well as some faint nuttiness, roasted malt, and celery salt. Creamy and reasonably full on the palate, it starts out with a flowery hop bite, then settles to a smooth maltiness, along with some rounded spiciness, pale chocolate, dry nuttiness and a hint of roasted malt. Lethargic carbonation aids in it’s easy going drinkability. Lengthy, slightly dry finish. The late-2003 bottles from the new brewery have much less yeast sediment than before, so adding the dregs doesn’t turn it into the muddy mess it once did. Overall, a session-worthy brown ale that Bell’s should turn into a year-round brew.
