Received this randomly on DLD 08 for a Peche Mortel and didn’t actually realize what it was until I finally moved some things around at home and low and behold...tastiness from Bell’s. Poured beautifully with a creamy brown head and a malty chocolate aroma. The palate wasn’t quite as well balanced as expedition but still exceptional nonetheless. Wish I had a case of these to age rather then just the one but happy to have been able to partake.

Blind Tasting Malty chocolate aroma, with some scottish ale malts. Boozy with tons of hazelnut, chocolate, with an anise background. Great stout.....and now that I know what it was, I wonder what it would have been like with a little more time under it’s belt.

This poured black in color with a thin moderate brown head of fine bubbles. The nose showed off dark fruit (plum/fig), chocolate, caramel along with sweet and rich citrus. In the mouth it was concentrated, rich and smooth. Though the flavors were of the sweet and sour variety. The palate was great but the flavors were a bit odd. In general I believe that the Expedition Stout ages better so will be interested to find out what the difference is between this one and Expedition.

Thanks AgentSteve. Pours dark brown/black, creamy, chocolate, bourbon, wood, roasted malts, coffee, slight dry and bitter finish.

Now thats a stout!!!!deep black color, nice Choc brown color head, nose is kinda boozy rum, coffee, molasses, star anise choc... SO GOOD, flavor hits em all very roasty with a good bittering finish, Fantastic beer
