Feb 12, 2008 Pours a very dark brown/black, with light tan head, Aroma of chocolate and caramel. Tastes of sweet chocolate and caramel with a hint of coffee. This is probably the perfect "session" stout.

Feb 12, 2008 Poured black with brown head. Full of flavor of coffee and malts. Lacks the sweetness the Expedition Stout has.

Feb 10, 2008 12 oz bottle thanks to gunhaver. Pours a nice brownish black with a tan head. Aroma is Malt and Coffee. Taste is toasted barley, licorice and coffee. Finishes very dry, and could use a little more sweeness to balance the flavor out but still a pretty good stout.

Feb 9, 2008 Bottle - batch #8237. Color is black. Creamy thick tan head. Good lacing. Aroma is coffee. Tastes of malt, coffee and chocolate. I really enjoyed this beer. There is nothing crazy about this, no wild flavors like the Expedition stout. Full bodied, smooth, and creamy. I enjoy all the variety that Bells brings to the midwest, but sometimes you just want something straightforward. This is simply a solid beer.

Feb 8, 2008 Another great beer from Bell’s. Pours dark black with a finger thick tan head. Roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Smooth palate but could be smoother. Kind of oily. The flavor is much the same as the aroma. There is a touch of smoked malt as well.

Feb 8, 2008 very dark black, with thin chocolate brown head. would have liked the head to fill more of the glass, maybe a poor pour. great lacing from the head tho! burst of creamy chocolate aroma. could have been smoother. taste is chocolate and roasted malt, maybe smoked? good tasting brew. maybe some burnt coffee towards the end. not bad, not as sweet as everyone made it out to be, but still very good.

Feb 8, 2008 Pours a thick oily black with a very thin but persistent tan head. The aroma is rich with molasses, slightly smokey burnt malts and a bit of chocolate. The flavor is awesome - sweet malty molasses, dark chocolate bitterness with the slightest hint of an alcoholic bite that leaves a little tingle on the tongue. All this coupled with a rich creamy mouthfeel makes for one of the best stouts I’ve ever tasted.

Feb 4, 2008 Pours almost completely opaque with minimal tan head. Aroma is light with sweet liquorish and malt. Good smoky flavor, with sting malt. Smooth rich feel that tingles the mouth. Very good stout without the typical tremendous bitter bite.
