Bells Expedition Stout

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Imperial Stout
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

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.

This beer is fkn big. A monster of malts and hops. Took me over two hours to finish. Blacker than black with average head but outragous lacing. Aroma is of cocoa and chocolate. Taste of intense creamy malts and medium to high hops. Good god!

Awesome! Lots of flavors come to mind, all of them are dark....coffee, chocolate, licorice. Really nice smell. Black in body, almost a redish brown head. Bells is my favorite brewer at the moment.

355 mL bottle. Opaque black with a small brown head. The aroma is stout-meets-IPA. And they become friends. The flavour has lots of licorice, espresso, dark chocolate, roast, dark fruit, and hops. Some alcohol burn at the end. Really smooths out and simplifies as it warms. Carbonation is perfect. Very full body. Excellent!
