Best Brown Ale (Bell's Brewing)


I am a coffee drinker, and have an appreciation for the subtle flavor varieties in coffees from just about anywhere. I tend to think about coffee when I have a good brown, stout, or porter. Brown's tend to be the smoother drink, that can follow with a variety of flavors.

This selection from Bell's Brewing has a sweeter taste that what I generally like. This isn't a brown that I would pair with a cigar. This beer almost seems to have a fruity taste to it, like apricot. At 5.8% ABV, this beer will keep you warm during the fall and winter.

Don't judge Bell's by this particular brew. In Richmond, their Two Hearted ale seems to be the flag stone. This brewery from Kalamazoo Michigan does all the right things to help stimulate a beer lover with a large portfolio of seasonal and special releases. Check them out at http://www.bellsbeer.com/
