However it is a very smooth beer and is highly drinkable. I could put a few of these back in one sitting, but probably could only have one expedition. gotohelunc (473), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 13, 2008 Draft at Brixx. Dark, near-black color with a medium tan head. Smells nice and roasty and tastes much the same. A lot of roasted nuts and other burnt flavors. Not incredibly complex, but it’s not supposed to be and it’s perfectly balanced. Finishes completely cleanly and is even somewhat thirst-quenching...odd for a beer this heavy. I loved it. hapjydeuce (767), Del Mar, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 12, 2008 Bottled. Inviting black pour with a light, fizzy beige head into a pint glass. Sweet caramel notes, faint licorice and roasted woods are in the aroma. Great flavor for a smaller stout, Some fruits mixed in with a hefty dark chocolate base and some coffee with vanilla cream. Long and roasty black malt finish with a good dose of bitterness. Sure as hell beats Guinness, I could drink this stuff all night. Beerman6686 (1280), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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. toddkrem (78), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 12, 2008 Poured black with brown head. Full of flavor of coffee and malts. Lacks the sweetness the Expedition Stout has. rustychiles (1018), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | 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. wmubronco1992 (180), Coldwater, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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. KAF (441), Coralville, Iowa, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | 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.
