Bells Kalamazoo Stout

pours dark brown, beihe head. Aroma of roasted malts, light bitetrness. Flavor, malty with hints of spices and roast. Some hints of chocolate giving a light bitter mouthfeel. Medium body, wonderful and easy to drink. Might seem to be more than 6%

12 oz bottle. Dark brown with a thick tan head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of chocolate, roasty grains, caramel and even some hop aroma buried in there. The flavor is rich and sweet with lots of chocolate and coffee, there is also a roasted bitterness. Full body with average carbonation and a soft creamy mouth feel. Long roasty finish. Very well done Stout, tastes a lot bigger than it really is.

Pours black with no head. Aroma is metallic, fish-like and not terribly pleasant. In fact, I can’t stand inhaling while I sip this. Taste is heavy on bitter, roasted malts - at least on the back end. Up front, it is missing something . . . like flavor. Abrupt finish too. The mouth feel is good though - creamy and full-bodied. Drinkable, but there are better stouts out there.

Nice aroma and flavor from this one. Sometimes I need to remind myself not every stout I drink is an imperial and need to adjust my expectations accordingly. Overall, a great offering from Bells, but you already knew that.
