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.

Had it at the flying saucer. Noticed it was bitter right away. Decent lacing. Notes of a lot of roast and chocolate. Creamy and delecious, would drink again

Typical great beer coming from Kalamazoo Bell’s. Poors our real dark and somewhat like syrup. Fills your mouth with a chocolate and coffee and finishes slightly bitter; it leaves you with a warmth inside. Highly recommended.

This is a very good beer even if its not as good as its bigger brother the expedition. Nice and dark looking, like motor oil. I was expecting an imp stout but it was definitly only a stout. As far as stouts go, this is pretty damn top notch.

Opague. Roast and licorice in the aroma. Full bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Creamy, malty flavor with roast, coffee and licorice, especially in the aftertaste. Well made.

Bottle. Pours jet black with a nice beige head- a real work of art. The aroma is an earthy dank dirt combined with coffee and chocolate. The taste is full of roasted notes, coffee, burnt malts, chocolate, and a nice hoppy addition. A great beer.

Pours an opaque black with a big light brown head that dies slow and laces. Smells roasty, chocolate, and expresso. All of the smells are in the taste along with a small hop bite. Balanced, delicious and subtle all around. Medium in the mouth and smoooth. Very drinkable on its own session or as a treat.

I’d give this beer a 6 on appearance if I could. Thick, opaque, black body with a foamy, lasting, creamy, tan head that laced the glass all the way down. Aroma is all roasted malt, sugar, nuts, molasses, dark fruits, grapes and coffee. Flavor is strong coffee and roasted malts, nuts, chocolate, brown sugar, molasses. Medium body in the mouth, slightly watery towards the end, with a chocolate/coffee finish. This is a really really good beer, complex, inviting but also tame enough to be consumed regularly.

Great stout as you would expect from Bell’s. Surprisingly, they’re distributing to supermarkets as well. This beer poured great with a very dark, almost black color and a frothy un-stout-like head. The flavors were that of roasted malts and hints of coffee and even chocolate. Very good stout!
