May 16, 2009 Had on draft at La Cave du Vin in Cleveland. A massive, black bomb of a beer. Super roasted malts, a rich, thick and complex body and big alcohol. Expedition finishes with bitter chocolate. This beer is incredible, and certainly worth all the accolades that have come its way.

May 14, 2009 A Great stout! I think it loses some of its luster because it is a widely available stout. Put a year on this and you have an incrediable beer. Thick creamy and roasty. Mkaking my mouth water thinking about it.

May 11, 2009 So maybe this rating is bit high, but this beer is truly extraordinary. Unlike other stouts that lack a good aroma or thick, almost syrupy body that these RIS were originally made like, the Expedition Stout masters these two areas. The taste is of chocholates and strokes of dark fruits, like taking a chocolate covered plum and throwing it ito some beer. Though at times the alocohol was present. One of, if not the most full bodied beer I’ve had to date. Just an exquisite example of this style. Maybe a 4.4 isn’t so radical afterall.
