Description
Our journey began with a 15-gallon soup kettle, a quest for better beer and countless batches of homebrew. The passion and personality that began Bell’s continues today through our breweries and Eccentric Café. We continue to grow and evolve, dedicated to our mission; to be fiercely independent, 100% family owned, deeply rooted to our community, committed to the environment and brewers of inspired beer.

Aromas are slightly old resin hops with citrus rind and malt. Flavors are similar to nose, add in a bit of MJ and a bit more sweet than bitter with carbonation a bit soft. Body is a touch chewy. Decent but not great.

Stovepipe can. Pours a pours a mostly clear dark copper color with a large sudsy white head that ahs good retention. The aroma is somewhat mild with grains and pine. The taste is pine, citrus, and bready malts. The palate is full and even with soft carbonation. Finishes medium in duration with lingering pine resins. Overall: Decent--goes down easy.

Bottle at home. Aroma is sweetish biscuity malt, floral, wheat, bubblegum, fruits, dough, yeast, spices, apricots. Flavour is over moderate sweet with a little bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. While this is certainly a decent and drinkable beer, I fail to see why this is so highly regarded.

Bottle at home. Aroma is roasted malt, liquorice, bit burnt, dark chocolate, espresso, touch of vanilla. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and bitter. Body is medium. I’m not the worlds biggest fan of beers that are heavy on liquorice, but this has plenty of other flavours to enjoy such as dark chocolate and coffee.
