One of the most sought-after stouts in Bell's history, Black Note Stout blends the complex aromatics of Expedition Stout with the velvety smooth texture of Double Cream Stout and ages the combination in freshly retired oak bourbon barrels for months. The resulting harmony of flavors captures the finest features of all three components: malty notes of dark chocolate, espresso & dried fruits, all buoyed by the warmth and fragrance of the bourbon barrel. Aimed squarely at the stout and bourbon aficionados, Black Note makes a grand statement about the art of the dark.

Great, but not perfect. A bit too sweet and heavy on the bourbon notes for my taste.

Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits during the Bells Beer Tasting on 03/15/2013. Brown-black pour with a medium frothy tan head that diminishes gradually to a film. Small patches of lace. Bourbon, malt and chocolate in the nose. Full-bodied with flavors of oaky bourbon, bittersweet chocolate and roast malt. The finish is oaky with a bourbon and malt aftertaste. Good beer all around.
