COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
“The Dark Lord of all Stouts”
Rich and seductively smooth with complex chocolate & roasted flavors and hints of dark fruit. We conjure this by squeezing the life from two-row pale malts, chocolate and caramel malts, and roasted barley. Then we boil their spirits with East Kent Golding hops, and unleash an English ale yeast to feast upon and transform the remains. What emerges is a black deity-sized libation that will be your portal to the dark side. Bottled conditioned for natural carbonation, you may cellar Insidious for several years for additional smoothness…though be warned, it’s temptation will perpetually haunt you. “Beware the allure of the Dark Lord of all Stouts”

Black nice tan head decent retention minimal lacing... Big cream roasty aroma not much fruit, light chocolate light coffee... Perhaps some fig/raisin.... Flavor follows suit, quite roasty... Somewhat boring for an I stout... Full body dry finish..

watson1977 (936) - The dub c, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 16, 2012
Pours black with ruby hues...medium mocha head...nice lacing and retdntion. Aroma has mild roastiness and dark fruit...some smoke. Flavor has more dark fruit...slightly winey with a sour note...smoke in the end. Mouthfeel is fairly heavy and oily with a very roasty almost burnt winey finish that warms.
