Nice

At my daughter and son-in-law's house in Texas trying another very strong Russian imperial stout. Dark brown, totally opaque brown in color. Light dark fruit aroma. Light in carburation. Heavy texture, strong roasted coffee, semisweet. Coffee type bitterness that continues throughout the finish. Very good beer.

I sent that in Houston watching the Astros try to close out a ticket to the World series. Trying a bells expedition stout I'm only had once before. It was in a very small sampling at that time.

Having at Hops N Guac with a pour by the ounce cup. What a great way to try different beers. Has a modest amount of dark brown foamy head. Creamy and lasting. Color is dark opaque brown. As a strong malty and chocolate aroma. Flavor is, wow! Definitely a Russian Imperial stout. Strong malt, strong chocolate, strong alcohol. Texture is heavy and thick. Has a burnt bitterness and alcohol in the finish. Bells has come through again.

Good beer

Side by side review with 2020 Expedition Stout and 2020 35th Anniversary Expedition Stout Reserve. Expo: Taste has roasted malts, dark fruits, some hoppy bitterness and notes of chocolate. Medium-full body with a medium-low amount of carbonation. Expo Reserve: Taste has chocolate, toffee, roasted malts, dark fruits and coffee notes. Definitely less harsh in terms of bitterness than the regular version. Medium-full body with an appropriately lower amount of carbonation. Regular Expo is great as always, but they definitely took it to the next level with the reserve. I think I should do the same side by side, but add the bourbon barrel aged version of Expo. Regular Expo 4.5/5

Mukavan makea, suklainen ja kahvinen. Itseasiassa todella maukas ja tasapainoinen. Ihan lievä kitkeryys jälkimaussa mutta oikeastaan sopii kokonaisuuteen. Voi ostaa toistekkin.

3 year tasting with 2015, 2018 and 2019 vintages. Aroma and taste: 15: Roasted malts, dark fruits and chocolate in the aroma. Taste has a nice mix of chocolate and dark fruits (primarily raisins) first with the roasted malts coming in late mid-palate and lingering into the finish. Definitely the best tasting of the 3, as expected. Leaves a stickiness on the lips after sipping. 18: Chocolate and dark fruits in the aroma. Taste has chocolate first, followed by roasted malts and a little bit of dark fruits (raisins mostly) showing up mid-palate and fading in the finish. More balanced than the 2019. 19: Dark fruits, chocolate, and light roasted malts in the aroma. Taste has roasted malts first, followed by chocolate and dark fruits (raisins mostly with some plums) coming in mid-palate and lingering into the finish. Moderate bitterness in the finish. Body and carbonation: All three years full body with an appropriately lower amount of carbonation. The 2015 and 2018 have a more mouth coating mouthfeel. All are great and it's nice to be able to see how this changes with age. I plan on doing a 6 year vertical once the 2020 is released. Maybe even 7 years. 4.5/5
