The brewmasters at Bell’s have done it again; taken an already excellent RIS into something not necessary better, but excellent in a different way.
The pour is stout black with a half inch brown head that left rings of lacing, and for a BBA RIS that’s pretty good.
The taste is certainly full of coffee and dark chocolate, and the vanilla is much more vanilla bean, almost harsh, than most vanilla laden stouts. The rest of the stout wraps it all up.
The feel is lightly viscous, ideal for this beer.
OA, just another reason to be happy to live close enough to the brewery to visit occasionally.
