Firemoose15 (540), Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of roasted malts light smokiness. Pours a dark brown almost black very thin head quickly dissapated. Flavor is roast malts, smoke and a taste of cocoa. Palate was nice evenly lively. Overall I liked it want to get more. What can I say Ring the Bells!!! BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA Aug 21, 2007 12oz Bottle pours out a very dark brown almost black topped with a small tan head. Nice dark roast aroma along with a little smoke. Tast of sweet chocolate. A little thin but still ok. A nice brew. thanks S Santa for another fine Bell’s brew. Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany Aug 21, 2007 A decent brew, poured a dark brown, slight head, easy drinking, plenty of roasted malt, along with some chocolate, Some smoke flavor to it, an enjoyable brew! BigBang (210), Indiana, USA Aug 17, 2007 Decent flavor for a porter but nothing really stands out - which makes it very drinkable yet not pleasantly distinctive. I would drink again. SmellGood (314), Memphis, Tennessee, USA Aug 17, 2007 Very little aroma noted here. Good roasted malt flavor but very little left for the palate (maybe slightly smoky but very slight.) Overall, a good beer that I could enjoy most with a medium done ribeye.
