Bells Expedition Stout

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

Very Dark in color. Strong notes of coffee and roast. A nice rich flavor. This is a strong beer, to be sure! Excellent one to turn to in the deep of winter.

0.355 l bottle (vintage 2008) at Akkurat, Stockholm. Pitch black color with small head. Thick rich and warming aroma with coffee, salty licorice and whisky. Bittersweet, roasty, warming and strongly coffeish flavor with salty licorice, tar and raisins. Bittersweet charcoal finish. Smooth palate with low carbonation. Excellent rich stout, although slightly too boozy.

a nice kick in the nuts. heavy black pour with a head like a high school cheerleader in the parking lot before prom. nose of heavy roast, chocolate and bitter alcohol-drenched malt. taste is stellar, alcohol trumps all. i love this imperial stout. drop the price $5 and i’l buy it weekly.

Nice stout. Complex flavor, but the smell was awkward. Great taste, but the alcohol feels forced.

Bottle thanks to ryan. Cap was filled with some gunk(probably just sediment). Beer still tasted great. Black pour with brown head. Flavor is of a normal dark roasted stout with some chocolate, far from the best Imperial stout I’ve had IMHO.

Bottle from DuffmanSW. Very rich dark black with dark brown thin head. Aroma and taste of roasted coffee, smoked malts, dark bitter sweet chocolate. Medium carbonation. Very kickass.

Black pour, tan head.. Flavor is of dark bitter chocolate, vanilla beans, little bit of that liquorish in there. Everything is very big in this stout, lots of chocolate lots of bitterness very dry. lots of dark sugar sweetness as well. Very, very nice!!

Dark Black pour like an oil spill. Tan head with nice lacing. Aroma is Dark deep Chocolate that is simple but powerful. The Roast profile adds some complexity and a touch of ash. Flavor is immediately bold chocolate and insistent bitter roast. Under the roast is a layer of peatiness and a bit of booze. The chocolate starts out slightly milky and creamy but by the end transforms to bitter bakers chocolate. Mouthfeel is creamy with a bit of chalk. Dark and Rich, this beer is something very special
