A dry stout with chocolate notes and hints of oak. A cross culture of three different yeasts during fermentation delivers a delightfully different body with a soft finish

At Bell’s brewpub. Their menu showed it with a 4.0% ABV. Hints of coffee, cocoa but really light. Roastiness, nuttiness--again pretty light. Overall an okay beer to drink with a meal, which I did. But not one I would enjoy otherwise.

Good stout. Aroma of nut, coffee and roast malt. Good lacing and head. Bitter aftertaste. Medium carbonation, medium palate and good consistency. Tap at brewpub.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours blac with a dark brown head that dissipates very quickly and nearly completely. Aroma has a nice dark roasted malt note with a hint of roast and bitter chocolate. Flavor has some light chocolate upfront with backing dark grains and roasted malts with a dry finish.

12oz pour at Meridian Pint. Pours a nearly opaque deep brown with a thin beige head. Doesn’t look like a stout. Nose is nutty, yeasty, bread, grains. Sweet, malty, caramel, bread, a little candy, some very obvious fruit. Medium bodied, dry finish. A little weird. Not really a stout.

On tap at Eccentric. Dark brown body small head and aromas of coffee and bitter chocolate. Flavor is bitter chocolate and coffee with peat like eartiness. Full body and palate. Very nice to see this being served again.

12 oz bottle from hellomynameis, Thanks!!! Nose of coffee, chocolate, and some old, dried, leathery prunes; Very dark brown with a medium tan head; flavor a little acidy and cardboardy but lots of coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit. Wish I had this fresh!

An unclear brown beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is of roasted malt and alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of prunes, wood, and over ripe fruit. The end is dry, but the body is thin.

Black, with a small fleeting head that ringed the top of the glass. Chocolate and coffee aroma. Well balanced flavor of roast malts with a coffee finish. Bells seems to be going in the right direction. Thanks to Wohlfs for giving me the chance to try this historical brew before it lost all of it’s good points.

Powerful aroma of coffee. Very dark brown. Rocky head that left a lace on the glass. Multi dimensional with flavors of coffee and some chocolate, finished with sour fruit. Somewhat thin. Rich.
