Bells Kalamazoo Stout

Bottle - Seems like this one was a little lost on me compared to other raters. Pleasant stout aroma with coffee and coco malts. The palate was an even keel and a blend that really didn’t jump out as really that outstanding. Had this in a massive tasting so will need to try again soon to get a better perspective.

12oz bottle. I have had this a few times - first chance to rate. black pour with long lasting creamy head. aroma of sweet roasted malt, coffee, molasses and caramel. a bitter-sweet chocolate and coffee taste. also light licorice. creamy medium body. dry roasty bitter finish. relatively awesome.

(Sampled 7-6-08 from 12 oz. bottle poured into shaker)- poured blacker than midnight during a heavy thunderstorm, very attractive tan head over one finger high formed and last for quite awhile, light carbonation. Aroma of bakers chocolate, heavily roasted malts, and hard coffee. Hits the mouth with double semi trailer wide body, the malt hits the tongue hard and just sits there, moderately sticky in feel, finish has a very nice taste of molasses and toffee. As heavy as this brew is, it makes it all in balance- not very easy to accomplish! I may be one of Bells harshest critics, but even I have to say this is one damn good beer!

Bottle thanks to Alobar. Pours nearly black with a dark tan head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, licorice, cocoa, and dark fruits. Taste is very similar with a great velvkety mouth feel. Medium carbonation. Very tasty.

Bottle. Pleasant roasted malt aroma with a hint of chocolate and coffee. Black body with a small brown head. Sweet pleasant roasted body with roasted or almost burned caramel and chocolate notes with a hint of coffee. Sweet chocolate palate. Very nice.
