Black Note Stout to Be Tapped at Ashley's Tomorrow Night

Some late changes to the lineup at the Bell's "20 Beers of Cheers" event starting at 6:00pm tomorrow at Ashley's in Ann Arbor. The most significant is the addition of an 8:30 release of Black Note Stout, the first tapping of this year's batch. If you're not familiar with Black Note, here's the description from the Bell's website:

One of the most sought-after stouts in Bell's history, Black Note Stout blends the complex aromatics of Expedition Stout with the velvety smooth texture of Double Cream Stout and ages the combination in freshly retired oak bourbon barrels for months. The resulting harmony of flavors captures the finest features of all three components: malty notes of dark chocolate, espresso & dried fruits, all buoyed by the warmth and fragrance of the bourbon barrel. Aimed squarely at the stout and bourbon aficionados, Black Note makes a grand statement about the art of the dark.
