Bell’s Brewery, Inc.
Comstock, Michigan, USA
This beer is made with Michigan-grown barley malt.
Appearance: deep amber with a reddish tint, cream colored head, fine lacing on the glass.
Aroma: this ale has a wonderful bouquet. It seems like the last few beers I have reviewed had little to no aroma. Sweet malts, toasted grains, nice hop presence with a touch of waxy pine.
Flavors: similar to the nose. Sweet malts, old fashioned candy cough drop, and there is a strange note like what was on the nose (I called it waxy pine). Well, let’s stay consistent, waxy pine it is with some grated citrus rinds. It seems to have a little raisin like character in the mix. Firm salty taste.
I think people either like this or can do without it. While, it has that strange note on the nose and taste I like it.
Mouthfeel: smooth on the deliver with a moment of creaminess and then there is a bitter note that takes a bite on the back of the tongue. Lingering light pine, dry grass, and damn here I go with this strange note again … I am going to have to say it’s a salty licorice.
My Strength Rating: 7.5
