Bells Cherry Stout

Sampled from 12-oz bottle at friend home after her moving project. Pours a nearly opaque dark brown with some red highlights brew with a creamy light brown head that quickly dissipates clean. Aroma of roasted dark malt, a touch of cherry and raisins. Taste is medium to full bodied, light carbonation with flavors of dark malt, some floral hops and plenty of sweet cherry. Finish is creamy, smooth with an aftertaste of dark chocolate, dark malt and just a hint of cherry.

the body is very dark with a little hint of red in it and almost no head. There is a strong chocolate scent with just a hint of cherry. The flavor has notes of prunes or raisins as well as chocolate and, once again, with just a hint of cherry. $2.49 12 oz

Pours out a deep dark brown head with frothy light brown head. Aroma is of dark chocolate and light cherry. Taste is full of roasted malt, dark chocolate and tart cherries. Think of this brew as a great stout with a cordial cherry dropped in during fermentation. Alcohol is well hidden and carbonation is light. Finish is very creamy with a slight tart finish from the cherries. Excellent.

Pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, some tart cherries, and something like olive juice. Taste is coffee, chocolate, with a tart cherry finish. A very smooth and creamy drinking brew.

Really surprising. Unlike anything that I have had before. Strong cherry aroma with a maltiness. Taste was complex...All the makings of a stout except the palate. Tons of tartness and acidic palate. Good stuff

I thought this was great. Strong cherry flavor coinciding with the thick stout is wonderful. I would definitely buy again.

Black and oily like I expect any stout to be. Medium thickness to the tan head. The aroma hints at sour cherries but is mostly dominated by roasted malts. The flavor is a tart cherry syrup combined with super dark bitter chocolate. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel is freakin’ perfect. One or two of these in a night can be VERY enjoyable but I need to switch up to something more traditional after that.

bottle. Black with minimal head. Cherries on the nose. Taste of chocolate, coffee and cherry peels--bitter, tart, sour. Kind of an odd taste for me, was hoping for something rounder, creamier. Interesting, curious to know how aging might change it.
