Bell’s Bourbon Barrel-aged Cherry Stout

Sigh...ISO

 

I was reading in another thread that a lot of people find Bell's Cherry Stout (the regular one) kind of polarizing: either you like it or you hate it. Maybe this will mean it won't be so highly sought after.

Phst, who am I kidding? It's a beer aged in a bourbon barrel. Everyone and their freakin' grandmas will be trying to get this.

 

Read this on another website about 10 days ago. I was wondering why it has not been of much conversation here. Right, Beatimania is only now starting to subside.

 

I don't care much for Bell's regular Cherry Stout. Unless a bottle of this happens to fall in my lap, I think I'll pass.

 

Anybody know what 750ml beers Bells currently has for sale at their general store? It seems like there isn't much hype for any of their store only exclusives unless it's Black Note. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

 

Not a huge fan of Cherry Stout unless it's aged 7+ years. BA version is stellar though.

Call the store and ask, that's your sure bet.

 

Last time I was at the general store the 750ml bottles were, Harvest Ale, Golden Rye, and Mead. I'm not really a fan of any of those beers, but I would pick Golden Rye first.

 

Has anyone had this on tap at the Cafe or any sort of special event? I've never heard of it.

 

Its been bottled before. I just drank a 12oz bottle that was bottled in 2008. It was okay.

 

Had the original BA version of this a few months ago (Batch 7777), was pretty terrible and drain poured it, would like to try it fresh though.

 

I bought a few bottles the last time it was released. Did not have the foresight to buy more at that point. This may be in my top 5 beers ever. I really enjoy this beer.

 

I'm with you on that kzoo.

 

Thanks for starting said shit show! I thought us Michigan BAs had an agreement?

 

A long time? It only took a little over a month for Black Note to hit the general store after the label was approved.

 

I'm very intrigued. Granted, my beer finding luck is atrocious, but I'll be searching this one out around Chicago-land.

 

Yeah....the turn around time on label being approved to hitting shelves was about a month and a half.

Kzoobrew should be able to give exact dates

 

Bells General Store only man.

 

Nice. Still got a 12ozer of this
