Apr 5, 2008 Extremely dark with a quickly diminishing head. Outstanding flavor: ; coffee, chocolate, molasses, and more. A bit of a hop bite in there. Very creamy. Feels just right in the mouth. The sort of stout that I can sit and drink watching a ball game till I fall asleep. One of my favorites.

Apr 3, 2008 Pours sticky and thick with great creaminess to the head and lacing all over the glass. Smooth, with a roasted malt flavor. I couldn’t really taste the brewers licorice advertised, but it made no difference. I have yet to try a better stout!

Mar 24, 2008 Updated: Mar 26, 2008Pours dark with no head. This pops with a chocolate, roasted coffee, and black licorice flavor. Finishes moderately bitter. One of the easiest drinking stouts i’ve had. I’ll look for this one again.

Mar 24, 2008 On tap in my kegerator. Picked up 1/4 keg @ Total Wine & More in Springfield, VA.
They regularly have Bell’s 1/4 kegs.
Dark as night, but medium alcohol content.
Dark head which seemed unusual. Good aroma.
Taste of anise, dark coffee, and burnt toast to give a bit of bitterness.
Great mouth feel and not too chewy. I don’t like watery dark beers.
Filling beer, not ideal for a hot summer day. Great with a winter meal.
