Bell's Amber Ale

Kalamazoo Brewing Co

Steve: I'm betting this is Bell's most, for lack of a better word, pedestrian beer, but I enjoyed it. It makes a perfect session ale, in the classic sense. Lighter then IPA's and APA's, not AS hoppy, but still has a nice Cascade flavor to it. I think there's also a nice touch of citrus in there too. I could easily sit down and drink a six pack of this in an evening. If Bell's distributed near Atlanta, I'm pretty sure this would be one that'd be in constant rotation in m beer fridge. (10/21/2006)

Bell's Double Cream Stout

Kalamazoo Brewing Co

Rocky: This brewery makes 1 stout year-round, 3 winter seasonals available October through March, and 6...yes SIX that come out in only November. Unusual for one brewery to do that many of a particular style, but after having this I can appreciate that it's their specialty. I don't generally like stouts, but I liked this one. Sweeter and smoother than most, but it still drinks like a meal and packs a punch at 7.5% ABV. They only distribute to the midwest, but try it if you can find it. (2/7/2004)

Bell's Porter

Kalamazoo Brewing Co

Steve: I was kind of expecting a Porter brewed by Kalamazoo Brewing to knock me off my feet, but that didn't happen. I was almost disappointed. It was good beer, above average, and had a nice coffee background, but it certainly wasn't among the best in this style that I've had. I'm sure lovers of Porters will like it, perhaps, but I wasn't crazy for it. But that's OK, Bell's Two Hearted is among the best of ANY beer, they can't have them all, I guess. (10/28/2006)

Bell's Two Hearted Ale

Kalamazoo Brewing Co

Steve: Kalamazoo (more widely known under the "Bell's" name) is a highly regarded brewer, and I know some very knowledgeable people who consider Two Hearted to be their favorite beer, so I was kind of disappointed that this beer didn't absolutely floor me. Don't get me wrong, I guess it can be compared to the first time I ever had sex. That was an absolutely thrilling moment, but was it by far my best performance ever? Not even close. As far as IPA's go, it is a good one, proof that Europeans are morons when they criticize American beer. Hearty floral aroma which gave this a nice citrus zing, and I'll definitely come back and try other Bell's beers because of this one, but I guess I was expecting a 10. (5/13/2006)
