Bells Kalamazoo Stout

Brewed by Bells Brewery
Style: Stout
Kalamazoo, Michigan USA

Pours black with a dark mocha colored head. Smells of Chocolate, cofee and alchohol. Tastes of rich chocolate, cofee, and alcohol. The flavors blend nicely. I went into this thinking it was an imperial stout, but when i started to smell it i realized it was just a stout. I definety could taste alcohol even though it dosn’t have a ahigh ABV.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown/black with a three finger brown head. Aroma of roasted malt. Flavor is roasted malt, bitter coffee, slight caramel note and chocolate. Medium/full bodied with soft carbonation and a slightly disappointing mouthfeel. A little thin.

On tap at Magoos. dark solid amber. modest head, very nice lacig, Nice mix of malt and hops. Burnt malt fragrance, . flavors of Tobacco, Chocolate, and caramel, coke with bitterness. Very much like StormKing but just a tad thinner.

Poured near black with a thick, creamy tan head. Aromas of roasted malts. Flavor is a nice combination of roasted malts, caramel, and a hint of chocolate. Full-bodied and incredibly smooth.

12 oz. bottle of six. Pours a deep black color with a small darker tan head. Smooth taste of malt, licorice and chocolate. Extremely drinkable.

Bottle given to me by robert of stateline. Thanks roberto! Aroma of black licorice, alcohol chocolate and malts. Dark black in color, no head. Taste is burnt oak, vanilla, roasted malt, a hint of chocolate. Very smooth. I like the way it goes down. No trace of alcohol in the taste.Texture is perfect, not to thick or to light. Low carbonation. Overall good sout!

After having been denied 2 years ago in my attempt to sucker on the dark chocolate teet of Bell’s Kalamazoo Stout due to late entry to a club that offered it up on tap in ol Dirtroit, I was shocked to see this suculant treasure had finally landed here in Jacksonville. Now with regular and easy access to the Two Hearted Ales, which remains on regular rotation, I, in Japanese anime style, jumped for joy at the new treat. It pours dark; there is no light. Those crazy physicists at CERN might want to take another look at to what happens to light once it is sucked thoroughly through a black hole. Taste is mocha, superbly balanced on the taste buds, with roasted malts dancing about heavily, offering a creamy comedown to a well rehearsed chocolate factory. Coffee notes play well and hypnotized the treated taste particles on my tongue, less anything acidic, no thanks starbucks. Oh and Arsenal is playing loverly football:) GO GUNNERS!;

Pours a dark brown with a light brown head. Great aroma of roasted malts, caramel, coffee, and chocolate. Very roasty tasting stout with great balance. Definitely worth trying.
