Bells Java Stout

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Stout
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

Serve in English pint

Pours dark as night with a decent tan head. Nose is coffee, nutty, coffee, dry leaves and coffee. The coffee isn’t your run of the mill coffee smell though, it is strong has characteristics I’ve noted in some Kopi coffees. Flavor is great balance of sweet, salt and bitter although the coffee and hops packs a pretty bitter aftertaste. Sits on the palate quite a while, very sharp with a medium to full body. This beer is one of the better coffee stouts I’ve had!

Had this beer to long ago, just transferring from a app I was using to rate beer. As I drink these again I will add a better review.

This stout actually tastes like strong black coffee. I’d rather have one of these in the morning instead. Awesome beer!

A - pours dark brown with two finger tan head. No lacing. S - burned malts, dark and milk chocolate and smoke. M - medium body. Very creamy feel. Lightly syrupy. T - burned malts and toasted nuts on the nose. Strong notes of coffee and coffee grounds with lightly metallic smoke on the palate. Notes of blackened malts ending with hints of smoke and bitters. O - good drinkable coffee stout. The coffee is great 7-

Sweet malty caramel aroma. Pours a dark black with little to no head. Very malty, coffee taste with a choclaty caramel hint. Not overpoweringly strong. One of the top coffee stouts i have encountered.

Great beer. Have not tried anything by Bell’s brewery but I will try more now. So malty and delicious, kinda wish I had another.

Pours jet black. Aroma and flavor both full of chocolate and coffee Lovely.

Super dark, espresso head. Heavy mouth feel. Thick and creamy. Lots of coffee aroma and flavor. Slight hint of milk that mellows out the bitterness of the coffee. Some chocolate in there too. Very sweet with a nice bitter finish. Super drinkable. This stuff is really good.
