May 14, 2008 Thanks emacgee. Pours black with a nice tan head. Aroma is dominated by coffee with hints of vanilla. Taste is roasted coffee, with hints of licorice. Very smooth and creamy on the palate, with a very long sticky finish. Would drink again.

May 12, 2008 Bottle thanks to Hellbilly. Black with good sized dark tan head. Roasted aroma of powdered chocolate and mollases with a slight amount of hops . Taste is similar with a little licorice and then bitter hops at the end. The hops keep it interesting an uncloying. Medium body.

May 11, 2008 12 oz. bottle into a shaker. Oil pour with dirty tan head. Aroma of coffee, currants, and vanilla. Flavors are the same an include hints of molasses and malts 9 little to no hop action) - full flavored for non-imperial. Smooth on the palate with a medium to heavy body (not too thick, but, again, impressively full bodied for non-imperial). Overall: great beer worth trying, but wasn’t super unique; still, a very sturdy stout.

May 7, 2008 More than a thousand reviewers grant this ultra thick stout a 99% style rating. And again, I believe the ’experts’ are a bit off.
Color, lacing, finish are all top notch but the overly bitter aftertaste takes away from its complete perfection.
Still, Bells has another extraordinairy beer to offer.
