Bells Expedition Stout

12oz. bottle. thanks to maltomeal. nice dark syrupy pour. little to no head.aroma is strong malt with smokiness hidden away and slight chocolate oak tones. taste is huge with alcohol and malty thickness. coats your tongue with goodness. lasting aftertaste.

12 oz bottle. Poured a thick, dark tar color, nearly opaque. Significant tan head to it. Aroma was a chocolatey malt, some bitter coffee notes. Flavor was very complex. Lots of roasty, mocha notes, carried on a strong bitter molasses taste. Wow. There is some alcohol aftertaste as well, not unpleasant in the least. Overall a great imperial stout, something I’ll be coming back to for sure.

Awesome. Extremely heavy and full bodied. Thick chocolate and roasted malt taste, some vanilla as well. Very complex. No trace of alcohol, covered up by all of the other flavors. Lightly carbonated. Lightly bitter, roasty finish that lingers. I think this would make a really tasty beer float.

WOw! An amazing day filled with amazing beers, I saved this one for last and good thing I did. Pours a deep, dark opaque black colour, with little to no head. Taste is incredibly creamy, rich with heavily roasted malts. Dark chocolate throughout. Aromas of coffee, chocolate and burnt toast. Little bit of black cherry, licorice, oak, coffee grounds and smoke. Excellent beer to say the least.

Definitely one of the most complex beers out there. I bought a six pack at Lucas Liquors in Kansas City last fall and I still have two left, cellaring them. The last one I had was at the end of May and it tasted better than first time. Pours a deep black with almost no head. Flavor is all over the place. Definitely worth trying.

Thick jet black pour with small but thick mocha colored head. Wonderful warm roasted aromas of malts, chocolate, dark fruits and molasses. Wow, what a beer, complex array of flavors with an amazingly thick and smooth palate. Roasted chocolate and molasses are predominant flavors with hints of dark fruits, bitter coffee and a tiny bit of alcohol (although amazingly well hidden considering 10.5abv).

Tanks daknole! What a fantastic pour. Rich, thick and creamy. Almost the color of well used motor oil and almost as thick. A late forming brown head doesn’t last long and leaves an uneven ring. Aroma is over brewed black tea, molasses, and dark fruit. Not a powerful aroma but very nice. Alcohol can be tasted but the effects aren’t significant.. This is such a complex beer that it is difficult to describe. Sometimes tart hop, sometimes cooked brown sugar, sometimes dark fruit, sometimes alcohol, etc. Throw in coffee, chocolateThe flavors come in waves sometimes small and subtle, others crash in. Amazing.

Brown with a medium brown slowly diminishing head. Aroma of roasted malts, molasses, licorice and mild alcohol. Taste of molasses, chocolate, alcohol, brown sugar and licorice. Finish is mildly bitter with some alcohol mixed in. A solid stout but I think it’s a step down from Kalamazoo & Java stouts.
