Bell's Expedition Stout
Bell's Brewing Co.
Kalamazoo, MI

What a ghastly example of a hop-head's dessert. I guess ghastly is a tad harsh but it surely is marred. Fueled by a citrusy alcohol aroma and backbone this darkest of stouts is compromised. Pretty distinct taste, though unlike the Bell's Cherry Stout, the citrusy spike totally exploits the black coffee and dry chocolate appeal. Fishbine in a dark suit here lads and lassies.
