Jan 27, 2009 Poured a dark brown bordering on black color with tan head that lasted a while and left nice lacing. Aroma was of chocolate, dark fruit, molasses, and coffee. Flavor is very similar with a bit of alcohol present in the taste. Good mouthfeel. Overall a good beer that I think might benefit from some aging.

does not count  Jan 26, 2009 Heavy notes of chocolate with some coffee smell and taste to a lesser extent. Pours a rich black color. Very tasty with just the right balance of flavor and alcohol. A very good, well balanced Stout.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottle (brought back from Michigan). Pours a deep black, with a thin, dark brown head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma of warming alcohol, dark fruits, and complex malts. Complex, yet subtle flavor: tastes of dark chocolate, chocolate, plums, and just a hint of coffee. Earthy finish. The alcohol is distinctly notable, but is pleasant and warming. Excellent mouthfeel. Another winner from Bells.

Jan 24, 2009 Appearance: Midnight brown with a ring of tan suds and swirls at the top.
Aroma: Dark chocolate, chocolate pudding, plums, and black licorice.
Taste: Dark chocolate, wood, a light rum,vanilla, and burnt malts.
Mouthfeel: Amazingly thick and smooth. Not goey or syrupy like some beers of the same style.
Overall: This beer is amazing. I got this on a trade with daknole, and must say...it’s worth the hype.

Jan 21, 2009 Updated: Jan 22, 2009very dark black with a deep mocha colored foamy head. complex aroma with anise, chocolate, and fig...also a touch winey...reminiscent of a barleywine. flavor is creamy chocolate up front finishing out with anise and then fig followed by a hoppy citrus pop and a hint of coffee. great thick and rich mouthfeel but i cant get away from the barleywine qualities that are present subtley in the aroma and also in the warming alcohol flavor at the finish. this is a huge stout.
