Commercial Description:
This is a full-bodied stout with plenty of roast flavor as well as hints of molasses and chocolate. Ridiculous amounts of black and caramel malts make this stout smooth, creamy, and utterly opaque.

Bottle. A pitch black beer with no head. The aroma is of coffee and bitter chocolate - lovely. The flavor is sweet and yet bitter from coffee notes and bitter chocolate notes combined with hints of smoke.

I ’ve wanted to rate this beer for awhile, just never got around to it. Wonderfull coffee like roasted flavor, with a creamy back end. That’s all I could muster up.

Pours black with minimal tan head. Nice malty, chocolatey, and coffee nose. Great balance to this beer. A nice initial malty sweetness is matched by a roasted coffee finish. Very good.

12 oz. bottle. Thanks to trades with SoLan and dchmela, I have two bottles of this great stout to enjoy. Pours black with a moderate chocolate brown head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left light lace. The aroma is chocolate and coffee as the dominant characteristics with some roasted malt detected as well. The flavor is more influenced by the roasted malt with the coffee and chocolate more in the background. Very creamy and smooth. About four or five seconds after the swallow, a very subtle anise flavor emerges. Excellent.

rating #100! Pours an excellent thick black with a finger of creamy tan head. Aroma is wonderfully roasty, with some chocolate. The flavor is outstanding, a nice sweet roasted mocha with a hint of molasses. Outstanding creamy body with a nice sticky mouthfeel. Glad this is #100, Bells rarely disappoints.

DELICIOUS! Wonderful beer that says brewers licorice on the bottle but has not flavors of licorice. just an amazingly creamy and rich stout that pleases all the senses. another homerun from Bell’s. Kudos.

Draft at Cole’s in Buffalo. Poured black with a thin beige head. Roasty and smoky aroma with a pinch of coffee. Medium/full body. Flavor is again roasted with smoke and coffee, but also a hint of fruit sweetness and floral hops. Very good.

Bottle pours a dark black body with a thin tan head. Aroma is coffee, sweet sugar, chocolate perfect. Very creamy beer and very complex for a 6% stout, this is the answer to the question: which local beer would you drink all the time and a lot of!
