Bells Black Note, how does it stack up?

Well it depends on how steady your hands are and the amount of glue you have

 

All of these BA stouts are unique. Whether a KBS, Black Note, Event Horizon or whatever comes my way--they are great and it is really tough to say truly how much better one is than another. I kind of like the fact they are all a bit different. I rarely need more that a few of these to tide me over until the next year.

 

Personally, it's my favorite of the style. I prefer it to KBS, BBPT5, and BCBS. It's a brilliant BBA stout.

 

Yup...you are

 

Reposted from the WBAYDRN thread. So good.

 

Nah, I think its a great beer but I passed it over many times for other options at Bell's. For me, there are better options out there.

 

Indeed. One of the benefits of who you are and where you live. Hope I don't sound jealous, even though I am.

Mid Hudson Valley, New York is catching up, though not quickly.

 

Very delicious beer

 

The best beer I have ever tasted. As others have said, all the flavors and textures are more in balance than those in other top rated BB stouts. Beautifully crafted.

I don't recommend having it alongside a big piece of rich birthday cake, as I did the first time I had Black Note. Have it on its own.

 

I certainly do not take it for granted. In terms of beer, there are many great places in this country to live but I would be hard pressed to trade South West Michigan for any other location.
