Description
Bell’s Expedition Stout – Russian Imperial Stout 6pk (12oz Bottles)
A Classic American Stout With Legendary Depth
Bell’s Expedition Stout is one of the earliest Russian Imperial Stouts brewed in the United States. Bold, robust, and unapologetically intense, this 10.5% ABV powerhouse is packed with dark malt complexity, roasted bitterness, and rich, velvety flavor. Now available in a convenient 6-pack of 12oz bottles, it’s a must-have for stout lovers and cellaring enthusiasts alike.

Why It Stands Out
Bell’s Expedition Stout is a benchmark for American interpretations of Russian Imperial Stouts. Rich, intense, and complex, it holds its own against the strongest barrel-aged brews—without needing the barrel. Ideal for winter nights, beer tastings, or aging in your personal cellar.
