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.

12oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy dark brown to black color with massive two finger tan head that settles slowly and heavily laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and malty with strong notes of roasted malt, dark ripe fruit, some anise, molasses and dark chocolate. Flavor is roasted and malty with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, toffee, caramel, honey, anise, and molasses. Generally medium to full body with a pleasing chocolate and coffee finish.

Pours a dark black with an average sized tan head. Excellent lacing. Aroma of roasted coffee and licorice. Nice blend of flavors in this one. Intiallly you taste roasted coffee, malts, chocolate and that’s balanced off with some hops and the the liicorice coming through on the end. Another nice one from bells.

Interesting and licoricey beer. Pours motor oil black with a thick dark head. Aroma is coffee, vanilla, licorice, and some spice. Immense licorice presence. Flavor is coffee, licorice, and a twinge of hops around the swallow. Lots of dark malt. Finish lingers licorice and some milkiness. Thick mouthfeel and decent carbonation. Complex beer.

This is a good stout. Pours black. Aroma is nice...coffee/licorice. Not too much carbonation, which is good in my book. Overall not at the top of the list of favorite stouts, but I’ve had many, many that don’t come close to this.

Wonderful. PItch black with a rocky tan head. Rich aroma of coffee and tons of roasted and coffee flavors, creamy body with a dry finish.

Do the folks at Bell’s make a bad beer? This is awesome and is the closest thing to ’Murphy’s Irish Stout’ that I have ever tasted. A wonderful beer that is both full-bodied, but not too thick or overdone. My favorite style of beer and this is the reason why. Pour me another please. Cheers.

Pours black with small deep tannish head. Nose of sweet chocolate malt and coffee. Flavor of the same with hop bitterness through the finish. A very good stout.
