Maillard's Odyssey Imperial Dark Ale (Bell's Brewery)  Named in
tribute to the famous Maillard reaction that causes browning in
kilned malts (or grilled steaks), Maillard's Odyssey is billed
as an Imperial Dark Ale.  It struck us as a perfect American
Stout. Big roast flavors reminiscent of coffee and chocolate are
at the forefront along with molasses and a resiny, piny hop
flavor. It has a dry bitter finish and was one of our favorites
of the pack.
