Apr 20, 2008 Updated: Jun 13, 2008Bottle, color is black with a tan head. Sweet charcoal, chocolate and coffee aroma. Very smooth, flavorful and drinkable beer. It is not overwhelmed with flavors of chocolate and coffee but they are there. Nice simple taste with slight bitter undertones.

Apr 17, 2008 Pours black with brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, some nuttiness, and dark fruit. Tons of roasted malts and burnt coffee with slight licorice, chocolate and caramel notes. Full creamy palate with dry finish.

Apr 17, 2008 Straight up roasty, flavorful yummy stout. Like most of Bell’s "base" products, this is a benchmark for the style.

Apr 13, 2008 Pours deep black with small brown frothy head. Aromas of roasted malt, chocolate, and dark fruits. Flavor is roasted malt, coffee, and some chocolate in the finish. Very good brew, but nothing to jump up and down about.

Apr 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours pitch black with small cocoa head. Sweet aroma of chocolate, caramel and unknown spice, perhaps clove. Tastes of medium-sweet chocolate, roasted coffee, clove, with delicious slightly sour-bitter ending on back of tongue that lasts. Everything in perfect balance. Creamy, rich mouthfeel. An after dinner cordial. to linger over and relish.

Apr 9, 2008 Dark and a bit oily looking. Fluffy off white head. I don’t get much licorice, but I do like the aroma. The flavor is dry and roasty. The finish is smooth and wonderful. Another good Bell’s experience. They really need to distribute to GA.
