Expedition Stout - Port Barrel-Aged
Bell's Brewery - Eccentric Café & General Store

 

 

Barrels and roast malt for days, delicious!

 

 

 

 

Dark black body, one finger mocha head, good retention and not much lacing. Smell is mild sweet and red vinous character, dark chocolate, lots of dark fruit, roast, oak and a bit of dryness. Flavour is similarly sweet, port and dry fortified vinous character, light oak, dark fruit, raisin, dried cherries, oak, roast, chocolate. Mouthfeel is full bodied, a bit lighter than the bourbon versions which perhaps is related to the port. Mild bitter earthy Baker's chocolate and a light amount of dry sweetness on the backend.
