Bell's Big Hearted Imperial IPA (pack of 6) (9.5%)

An imperial IPA from Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo, Michigan, sold as a six-pack at 9.5% ABV. Created to sit alongside the flagship Two Hearted Ale, it pushes the Hearted lineup into imperial territory with a strong malt backbone, deep caramel and toffee sweetness, and citrus and berry hop aromas. The nose leads with pine resin and orange citrus, followed by toasted malt sweetness, floral and pome-fruit notes, grapefruit and subtle berry hops. The palate is bold with sweet toasted malts, caramel, toffee and earthy grain, meeting sharp resinous hop character, orange and tangerine citrus, peppery spice and a hint of coriander. The finish is medium-dry with lingering pine resin, citrus pith and residual malt sweetness.
