Commercial Description:
This is a full-bodied stout with plenty of roast flavor as well as hints of molasses and chocolate. Ridiculous amounts of black and caramel malts make this stout smooth, creamy, and utterly opaque.

BOTTLE: nice black pour, brownish head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roast/coffee. Pretty big complex flavor in this one - coffee, dark chocolate, malt, roast, and maybe a little sweetness.

Poured deep black with a brown medium head. Big chocolate and malt aroma. Rich flavor of chocolate and caramel, turning to roast and hop. Goes down smooth.

Bottle. Pours almost black with a small medium brown head. Aroma is subtle dark chocolate and coffee. Flavor is very robust, consisting of chocolate, coffee, roast malt, and a slight sweetness. Excellent beer.

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.

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.

pours a deep black with a thick mocha head. aroma is of malted chocolate...like whoppers...with a hint of coffee to it. flavor is roasty with a touch of smoke, some chocolate, and molasses. also a hint of a metallic taste. nice creamy moutfeel with a roasty finish that has that metallic quality to it...

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.

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!!
