Bell's Java Stout
by admin on Sep.23, 2007, under ale, american stout, beer, imperial stout, stout
Appearance: Opaque black. Not much head.
Smell: Smells like day-old coffee, with a bit of dusty cocoa thrown in.
Taste: Huge coffee flavour, some acrid bitterness and (finally, some indication that it's beer!) a nice roasted malt backbone.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, high carbonation.
Drinkability: Fairly good integration of flavours, but the coffee comes off as a bit stale. It's okay, but not spectacular.

My personal review of the stuff is that it tastes like paint.

Nah, paint generally tastes much less burnt. And has a thicker mouthfeel. Careful around the latex, though; that shit will fuck you up.
