Bells Expedition Stout

A deep dark black stout with a thin dark brown head, viscous and menacing. A pleasant sweet caramel chocolate with funky creamy character, dried dark fruits, and soy sauce. In mouth, an intense bitter chocolate, coffee, vanilla, warming alcohol and dried fruits, a mother of a stout, with class and clout. Tasted Dec. 2006.

Pours an oil thick black with thick brownish head. Aroma reminded me of soja mixed with chocolat matls. Taste sweet (some vanilla), sugary, very thick and heavy beer. This is close to a meal in a bottle. Mouthfeel of has a good alcohol presence and leaves a nice light coffee aftertaste. Lightly hoppy with some chocoloate bitterness, some barley, malty. A great brew that you want to enjoy slowly and not cold.

Aroma was odd - sometimes a great coffee, chocolate, cararmel smell, but occasionally it would smell horribly of ethanol. The appearance was black, thick, oily, with very little head. Flavor was fantastic - varied flavors emerge and all of them taste dark. Very thick, meal-like beer. Just great.

This beer is fkn big. A monster of malts and hops. Took me over two hours to finish. Blacker than black with average head but outragous lacing. Aroma is of cocoa and chocolate. Taste of intense creamy malts and medium to high hops. Good god!

Awesome! Lots of flavors come to mind, all of them are dark....coffee, chocolate, licorice. Really nice smell. Black in body, almost a redish brown head. Bells is my favorite brewer at the moment.
