Jun 14, 2009 Sample at Bell’s Fest in Ohio. Bready boozy aroma with a dark molasses color and very little off-white head. Had a very strange and unpleasant metal aftertaste, as if there were pennies floating around in the bottom.

Jun 1, 2009 12oz bottle shared by sliffy. Dark brown pour with a thin beige head. Aromas of roasted malt, tart fruit and bready malt. Creamy and roasty malt flavor with a tart berry finish. Not entirely sure about this one and I have to wonder whether it was better fresh. Still glad I got to try it though.

May 21, 2009 On tap at Eccentric Cafe. Nose of roastiness. Pours a dark, but clear brown. Not much head. Hints of coffee here, not much rye flavor though. The rye is definitely muted.

Apr 29, 2009 On tap 4/29/09 at the Eccentric Cafe. Odd nose of grain, chocolate and toffee. Pours a dark but translucent brown with a thin head. Flavor is less than stellar tasting much like the smell. For a 6% ABV the alcohol is strongly noticeable and does’nt help the flavor. I think if I had a bottle Id let it sit and it might turn around....but I question it.

Apr 25, 2009 Black pour with a small fawn colored head, Roasty aroma. Lots of malts and chocolate. tHFLAVOR IS MUCH OF THE SAME WITH HINTS OF LICORICE AND COFFEE. sLIGHLY FUNKY TASTING. i’M NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THIS BOTTLE. I am usually all about anything by bells. This dosent even come close to the kalamazzoo stout which is incredible.

Feb 21, 2009 Bottle from lampeno420 and I just want to say thanks! Black pour with a very, very small tan head. Aroma is full of chocolate, roasted malt and a good hint of smoke. The rye makes itself known on the nose and the tongue as well. The body is a bit thin, but the flavor is sweet and rich. Molasses, raisins, chocolate, hints of smoke and rye and a finish of hops...damn this is good. I wish I could get more...this would be one of my "go to" beers if available to me.
