Bells Expedition Stout

Jet black with thinner head, and ring around glass. Deep burnt aromas, raisins, chocolate, coffe all burnt. everything smoked out, lathargic booziness. Palate shattering flavor erupts on the tastebuds and makes one say "damn:. Full and robust toasted aromas at first overwhelm, but then recede to allow subtle sweetening vanilla fruit flavors to arrive. A boozed brandish touch is always there. A hearty brew for sure.

Batch 8295: Black, thick pour like used motor oil with a little to no head. Heavy roasted aroma. Hazelnut, sweet chocolate and raisin are also evident. Initially sweet, then bitter from the hops then a heavy dose of roasted maltiness. Sharp-dry finish with just a trace of alcohol. Heavy and full-bodied, this is definitely meant for sipping.

Pours black with almost no head. Dark fruits dominate. Some bitter chocolate and coffee. Thick mouthfeel. Rich and creamy with perfect hop balance. I had a Dark Lord a few days ago and like this a bit better. Top notch.

Bottle courtesy of colemgm8 pours black with small tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate and some dark fruits. First taste is sweet dark fruit then dark bitter chocolate and coffee. Really thick mouthfeel and slight carbonation. The finish is bitter chocolate with some fruit.

Thanks to Martha for this delicious beer. Black with a brown creamy head. Coffee chocolate and roasty and floral aroma. Sticky syrupy palate. Sweet very roasty bitter dark chocolate taste with nice cherry notes, juniper berries, and chocolate malt tastes to the finish.

A deep dark black stout with a thin dark brown head, viscous and menacing. A pleasant sweet caramel chocolate with funky creamy character, dried dark fruits, and soy sauce. In mouth, an intense bitter chocolate, coffee, vanilla, warming alcohol and dried fruits, a mother of a stout, with class and clout. Tasted Dec. 2006.

Pours an oil thick black with thick brownish head. Aroma reminded me of soja mixed with chocolat matls. Taste sweet (some vanilla), sugary, very thick and heavy beer. This is close to a meal in a bottle. Mouthfeel of has a good alcohol presence and leaves a nice light coffee aftertaste. Lightly hoppy with some chocoloate bitterness, some barley, malty. A great brew that you want to enjoy slowly and not cold.

Aroma was odd - sometimes a great coffee, chocolate, cararmel smell, but occasionally it would smell horribly of ethanol. The appearance was black, thick, oily, with very little head. Flavor was fantastic - varied flavors emerge and all of them taste dark. Very thick, meal-like beer. Just great.
