Pours balck with a one finger tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium full creamy mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness. Very good. Speedle (262), Mid-Atlantic (Tour 2007-2008), Virginia, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 20, 2008 Dark black body and a very active tall froth of a head that leaves soap like lacing on the sides of the glass. Naturally coffee aromas come through and perhaps a note of pepper as well. Nice sweetness balances well with the roasted coffee flavors and overall is quite smooth. Much like a mocha drink with the chocolate flavors coming through. StFun (535), Indiana, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 16, 2008 Updated: Apr 30, 2009BIG turnaround. Had this twice, didn’t care for it either time. Tried it a couple months later and WOW. Don’t know if the first bottles I had were bad or (more likely) I just have grown to like coffee in my beer more. If you like coffee, this one is the best thing going. Nice aroma, creamy texture, and tons of coffee flavor. Delicious! lweiberg (89), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 16, 2008 Pours an inviting yet not-quite-robust brown and drinks smokey and sinful like your ex-girlfriend’s Dinty Moore Stew chute. Similar to Bells Expedition Stout yet it’s only 7.5% and, at $8.99 plus tax for a sixer, quite a bit cheaper. When I drink this I can’t but help wish I’d be having Bells Expedition Stout but still, if you can’t get that, this is a nice substitute. nramsburg (202), New York, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 13, 2008 Really significant coffee aroma and flavor. Smokey and dark, with an earthy almost ashy palate. Dark chocolate definitely present. As usual, a good offering from Bell’s. TheEpeeist (1454), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 13, 2008 12 oz bottle. Dark brown with a toasty tan head. Nose is grape jelly and coffee. Starts with a strong acid-carb bite; a bit lactic. Body is a silky medium. Holds up well to the opening tongue assault. Plums, dates and some chocolate give way to a hoppy coffee that intensifies as it dries. Different kind of stout; points for creativity.
