Mar 22, 2008 12oz bottle, batch 8216. Pours a dark black with a nice foamy, light brown head. Nice lacing. Aroma is cocoa and coffee. Palate is mainly coffee, but that weird instant folders coffee and/or coffee grounds flavor, with a bit chocolate malt. Fairly thin mouth feel. Not my favorite Bells product. BUT I’M AWAKE!!!

Mar 16, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of Secret Santa. Pours black with a moderate tan head that lasted until about mid-glass. The aroma is totally dominated by coffee. Coffee is also the dominating component in the flavor, along with a fairly strong flavor of burnt toast. Acidic coffee bitterness at the finish. Very one dimensional and lacks depth. Medium bodied. A disappointing coffee stout in my book.

Mar 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours black with a brown head. The aroma is roasted coffee. The taste is dominated by roasted malt, bitter, strong, and burnt. It’s good, but I was looking for more from Bell’s on this one.

Mar 15, 2008 Cask at Redlight Redlight. Pours a deep brown with a thick dark tan head. Huge chocolate, cocoa aroma. Medium body. Taste is thick dry chocolate and cocoa and roasted malt. I think I would like this as a desert beer more than anything.

Mar 15, 2008 Pours a nice black color with a tan head. Coffee is definitely what this beer is all about. Dark chocolate comes through as well. The only thing I don’t like is that the coffee flavor tastes a bit old and burnt... as if you accidentally left your coffee brewing for way too long and forgot about it. Not a bad offering by Bells, but far from their best.

Mar 7, 2008 Pours black with small brown head. Aroma is of coffee grounds after the water has gone through them. Taste is coffee hitting you up front with chocolate and bitterness in the middle, and more coffee and bitterness hitting up the aftertaste.
