(Kalamazoo, MI) – Bell’s will release a big version of its winter seasonal, Cherry Stout. This beer was available on tap last year but this will be its first run in bottles. The regular Cherry Stout has gotten mixed reviews as a fruit beer clocking in at a surprising 8.5% ABV. The ABV on the barrel-aged version is unknown. The new Cherry Stout is Bell’s latest offering in 2008 following the release of the Smoked Stout and Oatmeal Stout. There’s been no word yet on when this will be released but stay tuned.
