Feb 23, 2009 Batch 7051 found it hiding in my cellar. Poured black with a one finger brown head. Aroma is lots of chocolate and sweet malt. Flavor starts as bittersweet chocolate and a little caramel, then finishes with some roasty malt/ hop bitterness.

Feb 19, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a stout-like motor oil black, with a half finger high tan head. Smells of chocolate, caramel, malt, quite pleasant actually. Tastes of roasted chocolate, what I guess is molasses, and a hint of caramel. Goes down smooth, but not as full-bodied as I would hope for in a stout. Good, but nowhere near as good as Bells’ Expedition Stout is.

Feb 18, 2009 Poured from the bottle into a standard pint glass. Pour produced an opaque, black-brown body topped by a thick, frothy head of dark tan foam. Thick smell of coffee with hints of anise, along with a thick creamy texture and rich roasted coffee flavor make this stout a beer that eats like a meal. I think that the only thing that prevents this from being a perfect stout is that the bitter, roasted coffee flavor lasts a little too long on the palate.

Feb 17, 2009 Another bottle courtesy of my beer director. Pours black in color with a nice tan colored head. Surprised at how much head developed. Aromas of caramel, coffee, molasses, and chocolate swarm from this glass. Upon tasting, it wasn’t as heavy as I expected. Huge flavors of chocolate and espresso, dark malt, molasses and a light nuttiness. Just a great, easy drinking stout!!

Feb 15, 2009 12 oz bottle pours dark with small head. The flavors are so well balanced and it seems you get a taste of the molasses and chocolate with almost no taste of ABV. This is the first Bell’s I have had a gift from my son Chicago Bear. can’t help but give this beauty top grades.

Feb 12, 2009 Thanks to HogTownHarry!!! Appearance: Deep dark black, small but consistent off white head. Aroma: Malt, smoke, peat and cream, some slight dark fruit lingering in the background. Flavour: Light body, smoke, peat, chocolate, lots of carbonation, a dry peaty finish, very enjoyable. Thanks Harry!
