    I've tried Two hearted, Java Stout, & Hopslam

    I really enjoyed all 3 :slight_smile:

    Bell's Batch 7000.

    Anyone? Anyone?

    Two Hearted is just a remarkably well-balanced beer that always delivers. I find myself asking why more IPAs don't shoot for what Bell's has managed. Expedition Stout is also tops in my book.

    I've tried a lot of Bell's and think they're one of the most consistently good brewers out there. I enjoy Hopslam but I really think that Two Hearted wins for me overall. That said, I've never had Black Note and after reading through here really, really want to try it.

    Black Note, probably my favorite stout period. Hopslam and The Oracle are also great.

    Two Hearted. Every year I highly anticipate Hopslam, and every year it falls short of my expectations.

    Haven't had Black Note yet, but it's very much on my to do list.

    Had a '12 Black Note a month ago. Whoa! Best beer I've ever had, not just Bell's.

    Would love to try Black Note someday but haven't met a Bells product I haven't liked. Expedition , Two hearted , Hopslam , Third coast all come to mind though.

    I need to try Bell's Java Stout but I would have to say at this point Hopslam is probably my favorite, just a very smooth, great tasting ale at 10%. It's unfortunate but Expedition Stout is solid but not amazing, esp. not for the $18.99/6 price tag, I was disappointed.

    Black Note is easily their best.. Expedition, Oracle, Hopslam, Two Hearted are probably their other top brews.
