Mar 24, 2009 12oz Bottle. Pours very dark. Medium dark brown head. Smells of hops, coffee and chocolate. Tastes of coffee among other things. The taste of the hops and alcohol barely come through on this one. I am enjoying it very much. Will def purchase again. ($16.99/6pk) Batch: 8864

Mar 22, 2009 Excellent stout. Alcohol is high but not too obvious. Really malty and has a nice balance of hops on the finish. A must try for every stout lover.

Mar 21, 2009 Pours a ptich black, thick, with a small tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a suttle hops. Fresh is a bit hot, which tends to mellow over time and become dangerously smooth. Definitely a wonderful beer that is readily available (when in season) and well priced. Buy and age this beer every year. This truly gets better every year.

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle from shop in DC.... Black, thick, peaty, charcoaly, sweet, satisfying, hot, cold, perfect. A complex brew black as a moonless night, with a beautiful brown head that looks like the thick foam on a great espresso. Dark and sweet, yet deftly balanced with hoppy tones throughout. Truly a great beer.

Mar 21, 2009 Updated: May 7, 2009Extraordinary beer of epic blackness. Thick, even for the style. Very strong flavors that smooth out quite a bit over time, a fantastic beer to age. Can be a bit astringent and hot if its under a year old.
One of the best beers, and certainly one of the best values for RIS.

does not count  Mar 21, 2009 So maybe this rating is bit high, but this beer is truly extraordinary. Unlike other stouts that lack a good aroma or thick, almost syrupy body that these RIS were originally made like, the Expedition Stout masters these two areas. The taste is of chocholates and strokes of dark fruits, like taking a chocolate covered plum and throwing it ito some beer. One of, if not the most full bodied beer I’ve had to date. Just an exquisite example of this style. Maybe a 4.7 isn’t so bad after all!

Mar 17, 2009 Bottle: Pours a dark chocolate with a thin golden tan head. Minimal lacing. Smells like a malts and hops, but sweet hints of baked bread. Tastes of dark chocolate, malts, and hops. A great brew!
