It’s been so long I honestly don’t remember a ton of details to describe. I do remember it being in typical Bells fashion, bitter finish(not bad however) after the chocolate/licorice.

Disappointed, mainly due to the HIGH price for this grog. It was very, very good, but not the sublime experience I had expected. Definitely shows that Bell’s is not mailing it in, but striving to produce something out of the ordinary.

Rating #1100 Shared by Styles courtesy of Silphium. Thanks to both. Brown body with nearly no head. The aroma is roast, light oxidation, molasses, light cola and chocolate. Flavor is dry and lightly bitter with bakers chocolate, light berry, toffee and sherry. Medium body is very soft with very light carbonation. Has certainly held up very well and was quite enjoyable.

Very drinkable stout, probably for the age. Palate held up as of now however. Color is coppery brown with no head. A pleasure to just drink, even if it was on the light side.

I guess this isn’t for the taste but for the pleasure of saying I had it. Pours rust with no head. Taste a little chocolate. Held up decently considering. Reminds me of good bourbon.
