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”

fiulijn (12360) - Malmö, DENMARK - JUN 22, 2012
Tasting at Papsø’s, corked bottle
Black color, with a medium sized brownish head, and short retention. The aroma is chocolatey, with some roasted malt, mild coffee, cream; well blended. Medium body strength, with a lean mouthfeel; strong flavor of roasted malts, followed by some chocolate and coffee, also some oxidisation, light sourness from the roasted malts, light phenol; it ends drier with some woody astringency. Good without being exciting.
