May 14, 2008 Thanks emacgee. Pours black with a nice tan head. Aroma is dominated by coffee with hints of vanilla. Taste is roasted coffee, with hints of licorice. Very smooth and creamy on the palate, with a very long sticky finish. Would drink again.

May 12, 2008 Bottle thanks to Hellbilly. Black with good sized dark tan head. Roasted aroma of powdered chocolate and mollases with a slight amount of hops . Taste is similar with a little licorice and then bitter hops at the end. The hops keep it interesting an uncloying. Medium body.

May 11, 2008 12 oz. bottle into a shaker. Oil pour with dirty tan head. Aroma of coffee, currants, and vanilla. Flavors are the same an include hints of molasses and malts 9 little to no hop action) - full flavored for non-imperial. Smooth on the palate with a medium to heavy body (not too thick, but, again, impressively full bodied for non-imperial). Overall: great beer worth trying, but wasn’t super unique; still, a very sturdy stout.

May 7, 2008 More than a thousand reviewers grant this ultra thick stout a 99% style rating. And again, I believe the ’experts’ are a bit off.
Color, lacing, finish are all top notch but the overly bitter aftertaste takes away from its complete perfection.
Still, Bells has another extraordinairy beer to offer.

May 7, 2008 Shared with Pyrozoid. Pitch black poor with a foamy light brown head. Aromas of licorice, milk chocolate, prunes and molasses. Strong alcohol mouthfeel. Sweet start ending in a long lasting crisp dry finish. Medium body. Flavors of coffee, chocolate, and prune juice on a licorice finish. My expectations we’re maybe a little to high before drinking.

May 7, 2008 (Dégusté avec french tickler) Une biere noir avec un collet moyennement collant. Senteur de licorisse, chocolat, melasse, miel et dattes. Saveur de chocolat, sucré, le gout de miel qui revient. Une biere qui je croit est surévalué.

May 2, 2008 Not a beer to hide it’s strengths. Roast overload in the nose, with hints chocolate and fruit. Black body and rich tan head follow. Strong roast flavors, definitely for coffee lovers. A little bit of chocolate in taste as well, finishing salty, and a little too sticky for me.
