Jun 1, 2008 Pours black with minimal tan head. Nice malty, chocolatey, and coffee nose. Great balance to this beer. A nice initial malty sweetness is matched by a roasted coffee finish. Very good.

May 31, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Thanks to trades with SoLan and dchmela, I have two bottles of this great stout to enjoy. Pours black with a moderate chocolate brown head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left light lace. The aroma is chocolate and coffee as the dominant characteristics with some roasted malt detected as well. The flavor is more influenced by the roasted malt with the coffee and chocolate more in the background. Very creamy and smooth. About four or five seconds after the swallow, a very subtle anise flavor emerges. Excellent.

May 30, 2008 rating #100! Pours an excellent thick black with a finger of creamy tan head. Aroma is wonderfully roasty, with some chocolate. The flavor is outstanding, a nice sweet roasted mocha with a hint of molasses. Outstanding creamy body with a nice sticky mouthfeel. Glad this is #100, Bells rarely disappoints.

May 29, 2008 DELICIOUS! Wonderful beer that says brewers licorice on the bottle but has not flavors of licorice. just an amazingly creamy and rich stout that pleases all the senses. another homerun from Bell’s. Kudos.

May 29, 2008 Updated: Dec 19, 2008Draft at Cole’s in Buffalo. Poured black with a thin beige head. Roasty and smoky aroma with a pinch of coffee. Medium/full body. Flavor is again roasted with smoke and coffee, but also a hint of fruit sweetness and floral hops. Very good.

May 26, 2008 Bottle pours a dark black body with a thin tan head. Aroma is coffee, sweet sugar, chocolate perfect. Very creamy beer and very complex for a 6% stout, this is the answer to the question: which local beer would you drink all the time and a lot of!

May 24, 2008 A terrific stout. Creamy with a rich roasted flavor. This one really sticks to the mouth. Very satisfying.

May 21, 2008 [Bottle] Poured deep black with a good sized tan head. Aroma was heavy in roasted barley, along with some bittersweet chocolate, and burnt caramel. Flavor is fantastically rich, and mimics the aroma quite nicely. The sweetness of licorice root really comes through subtly, building as you drink it. I don’t know if I’d really be able to identify it if I didn’t already know it was in there. Soft bitter finish adds a great ending to this awesome beer.
