Jun 8, 2009 Black with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, chocolate and caramel notes. Flavour had dark bitter chocolate, burned malt, coffee and toffee notes. Finished sweet. Perfect balance and a nice mouthfeel.

Jun 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown-black, with a small tan head. Faint licorice, semisweet chocolate and coffee on the nose. Flavor is wonderfully roasty and smoky, all dark and wonderful. The roastiness is kept in check by some residual sugar and salt (sort of club soda-esque), perhaps if prompted I might claim to taste licorice as well. Finishing palate is quite dry. Overall this is an excellent standard stout; doesn’t try to do too much.

Jun 7, 2009 Nice, sweet, slight smoky flavor, smooth like an oatmeal stout, like an imperial sweet stout. This great, especially for the price. Bottle at Total Wine Ft. Lauderdale.

Jun 4, 2009 Pitch black beer, light brown head. The aroma has coffee, chocolate and malt, really powerful smell for such a small abv beer. I am seriously impressed. Sweet taste, a bit tarry, bitter and roasted. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. A top notch beer and my favorite from Bells easily so far, if every stout around this abv would pack this much flavour I would be one happy camper.

May 27, 2009 Bottle. A black beer with a creamy, persistent, brown head. The aroma is fantastic, powerful rich and malty, with notes of roasted malts, black chocolate, coffee and molasses. Very light hops in the nose. The flavour has a medium sweetness and a light acidity. The roasted malts are present, but quite gently. Creamy and smooth mouthfeel, medium body, lively carbonation, long finish with medium bitterness. Overall fantastic aroma and appearence, very good flavour and palate and very drinkable since the ABV. A perfect session stout.
