Bells Java Stout

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Stout
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

[742-20071006] Bottle (w/ jerc). Super coffee bean and chocolate aroma with lots of dark bean and beer and some brewery. Dark dark brown body with a quick light tan head. Beery coffee flavour. Medium-full body is a little barnyard bitter. Interesting.

Dark as can be, with a nice little wispy tan colored head. Fresh coffee and warm malt aromas. Flavor is a fresh pot of black coffee, dark chocolate covered fruit, roasted malts, and um.....coffee. Has a delicious softness that makes it stand out. Flavor is well balanced. Body is medium thick, which makes for a wonderful sensation on the palate. This may be perfect for a stout - not molasses thick, but not watery. Once again, Bells comes through with yet another well made brew.

Cofffee. Chocolate. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Hint of chocolate. That’s about all that needs to be said about this sucker. I like coffee but I love beer that tastes like coffee and this is one of them. There is a thickness in the mouthfeel that reminds one of an impy stout without the added alcohol burn in the flavor. Super awesome.

I thought this was quite yummy. Great coffee flavor mixed with good malts. What I really loved about this one was the body and the mouthfeel. It was creamy, rich and viscous. I would actually lean this closer to a imperial because of the richness and body. Good one to sip and enjoy.

bottle. the best coffee infused stout I’ve had to date... absolutely wonderful. Thick and creamy. Full of coffee, espresso, etc... flavor. Pours a deep dark black with a thick soft tan head. Smells of chocolate and coffee. Nice full body that flows over the palate evenly leaving a nice bitter coffee taste on the finish. Incredible. Glad I got a six pack.

dark black bitter ice-coffee, half pump of chocolate, light in my mouth, still all up in my face, a frothy brown head witha thin slice of butter spread coating my tizongue.... this is a tall, but I like it more grande, ya heard?

Pours a very dark, opaque brown with a nice rich tan head that is very thick. the aroma is not as strong as expected but has definite aromas of freshly ground coffee. Taste is similar to coffee with hints of chocolate, which seem to be often present in these styles of beer. I like that there is not much for hops. Neither is their a ton of carbonation, which I like for these brews. The beer is good and a nice light creaminess. A very good stout that has definite coffee flavor.

A: This was a bottle from batch 7768 poured into a Chimay goblet. It pours jet black with a thick mocha colored head that fell over the period of several minutes. A couple of drops that fell on the bottle were a good red color. S: I’m pretty sure a stick of chocolate dynamite went off in this beer because it exudes pure chocolate aroma. T: This is one hell of a good beer. The flavor is insanely creamy and filled with TONS of chocolate and coffee. Sometimes I think about changing my favorite style to something else and then I have another double stout and that fleeting thought is immediately erased. It is perhaps a bit lacking in the aftertaste department. The flavor doesn’t last long enough as it quickly fades. M: This beer is good and heavy and as I said before, ridiculously smooth. D: Damn. I might have to move to a state where they sell Bell’s. Enough said.
