Bell's Kalamazoo Stout

**craigd** · 01-20-2009, 01:57 PM

I just had one of these over the weekend and thought it was a great basic stout. We did a mini stout tasting and I thought this was one of the more drinkable and balanced stouts we tried. Any thoughts on a recipe? I'm not really into cloning but would be curious to know what makes this one "work" so well.

I honestly think they adjust their water with salts for that one. Just a guess, but to me it seemed to have an almost salty quality...very subtle. It has been a long time since I've had it though. It seemed fairly steep on the dark roastiness.

i'd be interested in a clone as well.

It's flavored with licorice of some sort too.

I thought only the kalamazoo stout had licorice?

What? That is what this thread is about, isn't it?

I'm pretty sure the Expedition Stout has licorice as well. There's no documentation of it, but it sure tastes that way to me.

excuse me, i meant expedition stout. not kalamazoo stout

Kalamazoo Stout definitely has licorice. It says so right there on the label.

ignore my advice. anyway, i'm still interested in a clone!
