Name: Java Stout
From: Bell's Brewing - Michigan USA
Type: American Imperial Stout
Another "one-and-done" 12oz bottle from Bell's. I'm so thankful I have access to places that sell just one bottle, or I'd be going broke doing this project. This beer was enjoyed with some roasted chicken and sweet potatoes made by my girlfriend. The beer wasn't as good as the dinner, but it wasn't bad either. It smelled and tasted much like I imagined it would. Huge roasted malt character, along with a touch of chocolate and tons of coffee. I like coffee beers (Surly Coffee Bender is one of the best beers I've ever had) and this one was good, but not great. I think the base beer was good, but something about the coffee wasn't quite right. That component seemed a little stale or something. Not muted, not overpowering, but still a little odd. Still, I'd drink this one again if I was in the mood.
