Jan 16, 2002 Updated: Jun 2, 2004A rich, opaque stout with nice coffee aroma. Indulgent flavors include hazelnuts, molasses, chocolate covered coffee beans and caramel malt. The finish is dry and refreshing. Very well balanced and always enjoyable.

Dec 19, 2002 A wonderful dark brown/ black pour with a creamy head. Absolutely wonderful aroma and flavor. Better than the rye version - great warm roasted coffe and chocolate flavor, malty and delicious!

Nov 4, 2005 This is one of my all time favorite stouts. Much better than the double cream IMO. Pours almost pitch black, thick, nice deep brown head, and low carbonation. Aroma is tons of roasted barley, chocolate, some coffee, and some licorice. Flavor is overloaded with roasted barley, chocolate malts, and light caramel malt for a balanced sweetness. The black malt is noticed only in the appearance, as there is no harsh acrid astringency in the flavor or mouthfeel. Finish is so damn smooth, and moderately bitter.

Feb 17, 2004 Updated: Jul 17, 2005Black body with a ruddy sheen and thick but tight brown head. Great roasty aroma of chocolate, sweetened coffee and chestnuts. Makes me drool. Very nice roasty flavor as well without any burnt elements or astringency. Very full body. I think this beer is bigger than Sam Smith’s Imperial Stout, showing how far stout styles have skewed. Excellent stuff.

May 27, 2003 Much like their double cream stout - it has the same "chocolate ice cream float" character to it - this is not quite as complex or satisfying (not that it isn't extremely complex in its own right), but boy is it a good stout.

May 30, 2008 rating #100! Pours an excellent thick black with a finger of creamy tan head. Aroma is wonderfully roasty, with some chocolate. The flavor is outstanding, a nice sweet roasted mocha with a hint of molasses. Outstanding creamy body with a nice sticky mouthfeel. Glad this is #100, Bells rarely disappoints.

Dec 31, 2008 Updated: Jul 24, 2009Pours black with reddish accents only at the very edges when held to the light, topped by a 3 finger toasty tan head that has great retention. Aroma is toffee, lots of caramel and chocolate, and sweet roast. Flavor is very roasty, plenty of toffee, caramel coffee and chocolate, a hint of smoke and char as well. Finish is roast and light bitter hops. Body is medium slightly sticky and perfectly carbonated, slightly chalky on the finish. Great stout

Feb 11, 2009 A nice Stout that didn’t try to do too much at once. A roasted aroma is present from start to finish and tastes of the same. Very drinkable.
