Bells Best Brown Ale

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

Dark brown pour with beige head. Nice malt aroma with a bit of sugar. Malt and caramel taste with the sugar also. Creaminess helps the mouthfeel with the hops showing up a little at the end. Nice beer.

From bottle, 2B Papsoes New Zealand vs US blind tasting. Pours murky brown/orange with a lacing off- white head. Dried fruity and wineous aroma. Mild woody note. Flavour is fruity and mild woody, light dryness. Somewhat too dry and woody for my liking with no body to follow. Very minor oxidised note.

12 oz bottle via Mys Swap 3.0 (thanks to whoever sent this). Pours a semi clear dark reddish brown with a massive beige head. Nose is malted grains and biscuits. Taste starts semi-sweet, then some oasted grains, nuts and a bit of citrus orange-peal. And damn it is giving me a sneezing attack. Body is medium and carbonation is moderate. Style is one of my least favs, but this is a decent brown ale.

Best Brown Ale is the perfect name for this brew. Poured a beutiful rouge hued deep brown with a fine stick to your upper lip head. Carbonation is the key to this brown, it is forward and quickly diminishing in the mouth, making for an excellent flavor profile and an exceptional subtle nuttiness from the toasted malts. Slight caramel sweetness, and a bit creamy, and balanced beautifully with the hop character. A must drink.

Caramel brown body with ruby red running throughout. Drop lacing comes off of a well retained light brown head. Nose of sweet malts, nuts, caramel/toffee, biscuit dough and some light chocolate notes.Flavor profile is similar, sweetness dominating from the nuts and malts, but well kept in check. Great brown ale.

12oz bottle, Batch #8212. Caramel brown body with ruby red running throughout. Drop lacing comes off of a well retained light brown head. Nose of sweet malts, nuts, caramel/toffee, biscuit dough and some light chocolate notes.Flavor profile is similar, sweetness dominating from the nuts and malts, but well kept in check. I really like the biscuit dough and chocolate notes in this beer. Medium bodied, average carbonation. Creamy palate. Very back end is somewhat astringent. Long finish gets a little watery at the very end, but that’s only a small nitpick. Great brown ale.

Copper, quite clear, tan-straw creamy head. Malty aroma, caramel and sweet. Mostly dry, a little sweetness. Some bitterness.

Bottle from StFun! Dark brown in color, with a good size head. Aroma is malt, sugar. Taste is the same, brown sugar, malt, caramel. Texture is medium light. Carbonated. Over all a decent brown ale. Thanks again josh!
