Commercial Description:
This is a full-bodied stout with plenty of roast flavor as well as hints of molasses and chocolate. Ridiculous amounts of black and caramel malts make this stout smooth, creamy, and utterly opaque.

Pours oil thick and black with a dark brown head that thins out quickly, but is present throughout the drink. The aroma is thick and chewy with very roasty notes, coffee, and dark chocolate. The flavor is very similar to the aroma, but the body helps contribute to the overall experience, making it quite pleasurable. The oiliness of the appearance comes right through in the mouthfeel and makes it silky smooth. very nice. Wish I could get this locally.

Very nice offering from Bells! A "lite" version of Expedition Stout, but still very much able to stand on its own. Aroma is nice; chocolate, coffee, and caramel. Very easy drinking! All of the aroma comes through in the flavor, with the addition of roasted malt and barley. Pretty much a simpler form of Expedition, with everything amped down a notch, and no alcohol presence. Somewhat sticky and bitter on the aftertaste. Give it a try.

33 cl bottle, Fargo. Ink black colour, dark tan creamy head. Intense roasted malt, coffee and chocolate aroma. Velvety in the mouth, very smooth, sweet and warming on the way down. Excellent.

12oz bottle got through tade with StFun. pours black with minimal tan head, aroma isnt all that strong but filled with roasted malt, flavor of roasted malt and slighty sweet. not bad but i was looking for more in this one.

Pours a black body and tan head. The aroma is beautifully roasted malts with plenty of chocolate. The flavor is a kind of bittersweet for a stout with a nice presence of hops. Or at least more than I would normally expect. The mouthfeel is thick enough with an easy finish.

I am convinced these folks in Michigan have some sort of pact with Mephistopheles in brewing exceptional beers of all varieties. Every beer tasted sets a new standard in their respective class- this stout is no exception. The deep dark flavors of the roasted malts miraculously finish out to one hell of a refreshing stout. Very drinkable and highly recommended.
