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.

12 oz bottle thanks to Clarkvv! Only 23 years old!! Ha ha ha. Aroma is old dark fruits, toffee, brown sugar. Flavor follows with maybe old wood. It really stands the test of time. No massive oxidation flavors. Wild!

Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark (wouldn't get this any other way)! Cola brown with copious dark floaties. Aroma is strong caramel, raisin. Taste is strong caramel but odd bitterness, dark fruit. Smooth, soft carbonation, mild alcohol warmth. Amazing given age. But, didn't love it. "Well suited for your cellar"--Clark, you took this to the extreme!

12 oz bottle thanks to Clarkvv! Nose is old maple syrup with hints of old vanilla. pretty amazing that there is still carbonation here. No wet cardboard or wet newspaper notes. It sort of held up. I would never hold any beer 25 years. Jeez!

Bottle shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark (wouldn't have gotten this any other time)! Clear maple syrup brown, small head. Aroma is strong caramel, prune, raisin. Taste follows aroma with a bit of cardboard finish. Smooth, thick texture, flat carbonation (kind of expected for age). Surprisingly good for the age.
