12oz bottle. Aroma is malty with a nut and caramel undertone. Flavor is nutty, dry and a hint of alcohol. A good brown ale, but Bell’s does have some better brews.

Oct 10, 2008 Sampled @ Blacklick tasting 10-2-08: I don’t know why I don’t buy this one more often. This is a great fall beer. Pours an amber to dark-brown with a small creamy white head. Flavor is malty and nutty with still a relatively impressive hop profile in the back end. Very "round" finish. Drinkability is off the charts!

Oct 7, 2008 My 150th rating :) In an effort to try all the bells beer before the year is out, I bought this as part of my pick six for the week. This pours a heavy brownish/red and has a lighter brown head. It’s aroma is subtle, with hints of chocolate, and licorice. The flavor is also subtle, but has notes of raisin, and a malty finish. It’s a smooth drinkable beer, with no "wow" factor, but I wouldnt complain if it were served at a party. Cheers!
