I love this beer. One of my favorites. Great flavor. Much smoother than other BA stouts.

Another solid brew from Bells. This is one of my favorites that they put out and a top notch BBS. If you see it have a few since it doesn’t go around often.

A - Smells of bourbon. AP - Thick Black with an amber color T - Taste is very well balanced with the bourbon flavors. The blend of 2 stouts is also done amazingly well. The cream in the double cream ale is what offsets the intense bourbon to me. O - Hands down best BA stout I’ve ever had.

Medium full body. Pours black with a deep ruby hue. Lasting tan head. Aroma is strong dark fruit, slight alcohol, chocolate. Low coffee and roasted aroma and taste for a stout. Very smooth and excellent lingering aftertaste of sweet fruit and chocolate

Tasted at TWCP Beer Fest 2013. It poured a black color with a tan head. The aroma was of chocolate and bourbon. The taste was very smooth, almost a cream texture of bourbon, chocolate, coffee and a slight vanilla. Very well done.

Draft. Black in the glass with a creamy tan head that settled to a ring. Roasted malt and vanilla aroma. The flavor found chocolate, roasted malt, and a backing of hops. Medium to full body with a roasted malt aftertaste.

Bouteille de 355ml version 2012 brassée le 28 décembre 2012, autant dire qu’elle est fraiche. Liquide brun foncé avec un filet de mousse. Un nez terreux d’arômes tertiaires de sous-bois, de champignon, de chocolat, de pâte à pain pas encore cuite. En bouche cette bière est puissante, du chocolat, du bourbon, du bois, le café est absent à contrario du bois. Cette bière semble mangée par la barrique. Simple, pas le classique que je m’attendais.

Had outside at the Az crews epic driveway tasting that I was so kindly invited to. Another gem makes an appearance. Its 95 degrees out Im sitting in direct sun and im drinking 10% imp stout and couldn’t be happier. Pours black with purplish head. nose of huge molasses and dark chocolate. tastes of bourbon sweetness, dark chocolate, molassess, coffee, earthy, vanilla, and every dark fruit that exists. creamy mouthfeel and lives up to hype. kick ass

Pretty solid beer. Pours black with thin tan head. Chocolate and vanilla flavors with mild alcoholic burn on the back end. Solid beer.

Bottle from International; pitch black pour with quickly disappearing head, alcohol hit in the aroma, love the slick mouthfeel,bourbon taste not overwhelming just where it should be, vanilla, dried fruit wished it was a 750 hope we meet again.
