Bell's Brewery
Third Coast Old Ale
Michigan, USA
Muddy old girl, rusty brown with a shock of bone white wisps, shoreline lacing with mangrove roots. Whiskey soaked raisins and grilled peaches leap from the glass. Firecracker flavors of gun powder and rum barrels of American oak. Match-singed paper, ginger and root beer. Soy-carmelized eel, dark, unsweetened chocolate. Licorice extract, toasted coconut, burnt bay leaf, espresso. Brooding beauty that has no quit in her.

It only grows darker from there; pencil lead, leather, smoke. Burly as a gorilla in a party dress! #ThirdCoastOldAle #BellsThirdCoastOldAle #BellsBeer #BellsOldAle

May 31st, 2016On tap and very carbonated. Candy, caramel, giving way to bitterness. Unfortunately, the nose on this beer is 100% wet dog, and that's a problem. Either that or my mustache smells bad. Edit: it appears as though I had a bad glass. In a different vessel, the nose on this beer is fine. I've adjusted my rating accordingly.
