May 29, 2007 cannot believe I haven’t had this before. poured dark brown, with a small tan head that didn’t hang around to long. aroma, big time chocolate with roasted malts on its heels, coffee, molasses. flavor, a little disappointing not very robust, weak, did get the aromas and not much else, thin mouth feel. easy to drink.

Apr 30, 2007 On tap. Pours dark dark brown, some light does make it through. Aroma is roasted malt, some chocolate notes, rye. Flavor is slightly smokey, some molasses perhaps, cocoa, roasted malt. Palate is medium bodied, medium to ligh carbonation, finishes bitter. Yhis is not one of my favorite stouts from Bells. Still a fairly solid brew though.

Apr 14, 2007 Weak roasted malt aroma. Looks like a stout. Thin palate. Weak coffee and malt flavor--not getting the rye presence at all really. A dissapointment from Bells.

Apr 10, 2007 Bottle shared by Lubiere (merci!!) served in a goblet, cold. AP06/07
App.: Very dark brown with reddish hues, large flecks/chunks of tan yeast, tiny head.
Aroma: Canned meat/cat food start (MEOW!); coffee, cherries and other stone fruits, rye bread crust.
Palate: Medium body, soft carbonation.
Flav.: Smokey, tangy molasses and chocolate, some dried fruits, kinda ashen/mineral-like; not much on the finish.
Too much tang for this guy.

Apr 6, 2007 not pitch black, but pretty darn close with pretty cool small dark brown head. classy. aroma’s a little weak but pretty much dominated by smoke and a tiny bit of hops. rye too, actually, now that i think about it. this has a lot of smoke flavor without being bitter, strangely enough. it’s really quite drinkable if a little simple. surprising amount of hops in the flavor. not much coffee or chocolate, but no worries. better than a 3.55 i think, but nothing spectacular.
