A very good sweet stout. Light to medium body. Great aroma. Nice and easy on the palate. A sweet stout should be less complex and sweeter than a darker more complex stout and bells really nailed that here.

Full of Malts, caramel, some roasted coffee and a little bit chocolate. Creamy but not that syrup crap many Stout makers are passing off. Absolutely delicous. Just sampled a fresh batch from Oct. 08. It think it’s even better this year...

Much drier than most sweet stouts I’ve had - still it’s an amazing, smoky concoction that has notes of chocolate, smoke, sesame and a very light coffee touch. Creamy and sweet on the finish - yet dry in the mouthfeel.

Bottle @ Maproom. Pours very dark blackish, with a great head and great lacing. Smells of coffee, prunes, dark chocolate, cognac, and licorice. Tastes very roasty and creamy malty. Finishes very smooth, with a creamy, roasty flavor. Very bold and a very nice beer, just not as good as an imperial but probably the best sweet stout I’ve had.

Pours dark brown with a quickly dissapating tan head. Aroma is of toasty malts, caramel, dairy creamer, and some weak coffee. Taste is malts and hints of chocolate complimented by coffee and a lingering creamy sweetness. Very creamy mouthfeel, but a tad too watery. It’s good, without being overly unique.
