Apr 24, 2008 Nice brown head. Onyx color. Roasted aroma. Really a great brew. Definitely getting the licorice. Some coffee as well. Kind of wish I was drinking an Expedition though, but I guess the 6% is a little more reasonable.

Apr 22, 2008 Wow i thought this was an imp. stout.
Tons of flavor.. no licorice though. Chocolate mostly with coffee and molases. Slightly bitter and a long finish.
A bit of a band aid aftertaste.

Apr 22, 2008 One of the smoothest stouts that I have had. Pours a brown head and dark body. Chocolate and coffee in the nose, with some doughy notes. Palate is lighter than most stouts, with a slight but lasting finish. Very pleasant to drink.

Apr 20, 2008 Dark brownish black appearance. Smallish tan head that settles quickly to a thin layer, leaving some lacing. Aroma is almost all roasted coffee malt with a bit of bitterness. Flavor is roasted malt, with coffee, a little chocolate, and some licorice. Finish is nicely dry, with bitterness but not much of the floral hoppiness you get in Bell’s Expedition. Has a pleasant lingering coffee aftertaste. Relatively straightforward but solid stout.

Apr 20, 2008 Updated: Jun 13, 2008Bottle, color is black with a tan head. Sweet charcoal, chocolate and coffee aroma. Very smooth, flavorful and drinkable beer. It is not overwhelmed with flavors of chocolate and coffee but they are there. Nice simple taste with slight bitter undertones.

Apr 17, 2008 Pours black with brown head. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, some nuttiness, and dark fruit. Tons of roasted malts and burnt coffee with slight licorice, chocolate and caramel notes. Full creamy palate with dry finish.
