Dec 21, 2008 Pours blacker than Dick Cheneys heart - taste of coffee, chocolate, and a hint of licorice. Smooth drinking, and complex in flavor. Yum.

Dec 19, 2008 Updated: Jan 24, 2009blackish brown, with moderate lacing. not much aroma. moderately carbonated with a moderately full body. Flavor is of mostly roasted malts, some creaminess and a medium amount of hoppiness. notes of caramel, molasses, dark coffee and dust. finishes with burnt coffee and a high vanilla note. I like this fine, however it is not my favorite stout. - I want to try the double cream stout from bells, I might like that better.

Dec 11, 2008 Ink black with a thick tan head. Aroma of roasted decaf. Taste of semi sweet chocolate and coffee grounds, but in a good way. Definitely a keeper.

Dec 3, 2008 Jet black pour from the bottle with a medium-thick off-white head that lingers thru mid-glass and leaves good lacing. Aroma is a pleasant mixture of caramel and chocolate malt, with a whiff of coffee. Mouthfeel is full and tingly sweet, and the taste is a carbon copy of the nose, all rounding to a nice long, somewhat warming finish.
I had read a lot of good things about this beer, and was not the least bit disappointed. Good job Bells!!!

Nov 29, 2008 A very good stout. Not as think as its imperial brother (the expedition). Still, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and perhaps some vanilla. Velvety milk-chocolate aftertaste. Definitely some creaminess on the palate.

Nov 28, 2008 poured from a 12oz bottle inot a wide mouthed glass. aroma is very rich and chocolate-like. slight notes of roasted barley - but not overwhelming - which I prefer. minimal tan head that fades quickly and leaves lacing. Flavor is sweet and malty - very nice. chocolate is first as it fades, a sweetness takes over. no harsh finish, and very pleasant. palate is smooth and very digestable. overall, a beer that I would love to have year round - too bad is too darn hot in florida to drink this any time but Nov through Jan.
