2018 Advent Beer Review

 
Date:   Dec 11, 2018
Beer:   Bell's Brewery - Special Double Cream Stout
Style:  Sweet Stout
Source: Comstock, MI
ABV:    6.1%
 
"Named for its velvety smooth, creamy texture, Bell's Special
 Double Cream Stout is brewed with 10 different specialty roasted
 malts chosen to impart notes of rich mocha and espresso. Dark and
 sweet tones intermingle with a soft, roasty finish."
 

 
This is a nice beer for coffee lovers like me! Ive had a couple of
other stouts in the past that share this coffee and dark chocolate
profile. They always end up tasting good. I would characterize this
one as a little less creamy than the others. The dark chocolate is
not sweet at all and tastes very natural. The roasted coffee flavor
is unique, unfortunately I'm ignorant about coffee bean varieties so
I don't know a good way to describe it.
 
- Would I buy it again? Yes.
- How much could I drink in one night? Three or four bottles.
