Bottle given to me from Robert. Not what I was expecting.. But suprisely good. Dark in color, no head. Aroma that I cant put my finger on. Taste is sweet and smooth. Rye, chocolate, small amount of coffee, roasted malt, but has a nicy spiceyness that suits it well. Texture is a little thin for a stout. Hats off to the brewers at Bells for trying something unique. Good beer! Thanks robert!

Jul 28, 2008 12oz bottle, batch 72xx, flavors have faded a bit, rye still smooths out the beer, but the in your face coffee,roasty flavors are subdued greatly, not bad by any stretch, nice easy sipping even on a hotter midsummer night.

May 26, 2008 Bottle pours a brown body with a tan head. Aroma is malty rye and chocolate with a hint of coffee. Flavor is such with a dry rye finish. not bad.

Pour with light carbonation. Nose is cholately and Belgian (bubblegum). Rye is subtle at this point. Hidden behind most of the roast.

Mar 9, 2008 Pours very dark brown with a small brown head. Aroma of cocoa, dark fruits, some light notes of kalamata olives. Dark chocolate is accompanied by a spicy twang, and a lasting spicy rye finish. I really enjoyed this. I was about to note that this is a great session stout - I had no clue this was 6.7% ABV. Damn, Bell’s can sure make stouts.
