Description
Our journey began with a 15-gallon soup kettle, a quest for better beer and countless batches of homebrew. The passion and personality that began Bell’s continues today through our breweries and Eccentric Café. We continue to grow and evolve, dedicated to our mission; to be fiercely independent, 100% family owned, deeply rooted to our community, committed to the environment and brewers of inspired beer.

Bottle shared by Clarkvv--thanks, Clark! Opaque, inky black with light viscosity, light sparkle, ring of head, trace lacing. Aroma is strong molasses, bourbon. Taste is strong molasses, bourbon. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation, mild alcohol warmth, finish as taste. Good strength and nice molasses taste with the bourbon but not complex at all. What you would expect from Expedition Stout with bourbon--haven't had the regular BBA Expedition Stout.

Barwa "herbaciana", klarowna. Płyn przykrywa wysoka, biała piana. Zbudowana z drobnych i średniej wielkości oczek, średnio długi utrzymuje się na powierzchni płynu.
Aromat świeży i intensywny. Chmielowy, owocowy - słodkie tropiki z odrobiną nut sosnowych.
Smak wyraźnie goryczkowy. Goryczka ma charakter sosnowy, żywiczny, jest wysoka, "ostra" i długa, a nawet zalegająca.
Wysycenie średnie. Ciało średnie w górę. Tekstura niemal gładka. Posmak długi, wytrawny.
