pours a very dark brown with a thin tan head. aroma is slightly coffee-like and malty. flavor has the whole sweet/sour thing going on...with the coffee sweetness and some yeasty sourness thing..somewhere in the middle of trumpeters and the oatmeal.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Black with creamy beige head. Burnt aroma of bread and prunes. Dryish with a surprising fruity touch. Medium bodied with spritzy mouthfeel, light notes of nutes and blackberries. Doesn’t have the roastiness usually associated with stouts. Lightly salty finish. Surprising in every aspect.

Appearance is murky smoked brown during the pour, but sits black in the glass. Sort of a nutra-sweet aroma with some roastedness. Sweet, but strangely so … I cannot really put a finger on the flavor … perhaps burnt citrus? Ends with a strange back of throat sourness. Probably my least favorite of the Bell’s Stout lineup.

Very smooth and easy to drink for a stout. Coffee overtones that aren’t too overbearing.

UPDATED: MAR 10, 2005 I give up..it poured transparent yet settled in the glass an opaque monster with no head..this was coffeeish and ryeish..it was a tad lactosey and chocolatey with some more rye begging for some pastrami and swiss..decent stuff

Black with a little head on top. Light band aid nose. Smokey and caramel malt taste. Light aftertaste. Decent!

Very interesting. A unique stout that is well worth trying.

A deep dark brown stout with ruby hues, and big floaties, with a thin creamy moka head. A strange concoction of coffee, metallic notes, and potted meat. In mouth, a restrained sweet chocolate, with light bitter notes, a bit buttery. Medium bodied. Tasted Dec. 2006.

Looks like a bells stout, smells like a bells stout. Sour and acidic. thin on the palate. some coffee, some chocolate.
