Bell's 30th Anniversary Cherry Stout Reserve. American Stout brewed with cherries. Brewed and bottled by Bell's Brewery, Inc., Comstock, MI. Alc. 9% By Vol.Solid blackness, thin brown ring of foam.
In the nose: Rich and toasty, intense chocolate, with cherries just beneath.
In the mouth: Cherries and bigger and bolder on the palate, chocolate malt flavors hold down the fort. Massive malt mouthfeel. Fruity sweetness creeps on board. Might be 9%, but we don't feel it just yet.
I'm enjoying this. Happy Anniversary, Cherry Stout!
This version was brewed in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of our Cherry Stout, another specialty beer that was first brewed in 1988 as a nod to a local homebrew club in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It has grown to be one of the most anticipated beers we brew at the brewery every year.
We brewed a version of Cherry Stout in 2001 using oak chips and cherry pits. This time around, we decided to brew with whole cherries and oak chips. Coming in at 9.0% alcohol by volume, this commemorative batch is a celebration of what Cherry Stout means to us.
