Commercial Description:
The history of the bible and religion is indeed the struggle of good vs. evil. Our Serpent’s Stout recognizes the evil of the dark side that we all struggle with. This is a massively thick and opaque beer that begs the saints to join the sinners in their path to a black existence.

Pours out black with brown head. Nice roasty nose. Taste is thick and rich. Notes of chocolate, coffee, dark fruits. Semi sweet with a hint of alcohol. Great Imp. stout.

22oz bottle from Solan’s Mom Throwdown. Blackish brown pour with a chocolatey head. Smokey wood notes in the nose with some coffee, bourbon and chocolate. Very low carbonation and a thick powerful palate. Considering the ABV this is very very well hidden. Tons of caramel and chocolate and a bit of roasty espresso, a slight touch of fruity tartness in the finish that makes this a very unique impy stout. Lingering smoke. This is really great, one of my favorite imperial stouts.

750 ml bottle. Pitch black color with large, dark tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and warming alcohol. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is a nice balance of semi-sweet chocolate, coffee notes, dark fruit. Finish is slightly bitter with a touch of warming alcohol.

Via trade with Emacgee. Pours completely opaque back in color with a brown head. Aroma of strong roasted malt, coffee, and alot of dark fruit, some alcohol. Taste is roasty, strong dry chocolate, dark fruit, molasses, caramel, and definite perceivable alcohol. Relatively full bodied with somewhat light carbonation, in line with the style. Finishes with lingering roasty bitterness and a moderate touch of dark fruit. Very nice. Thanks Ethan!

Rather dark brown head and it has a totally black body. Chocolate, roasted malts, molasses and a precognition of bitterness appear in the aroma. Bitter dark chocolate taste. The beer feels rather astringent. But it is thick and really creamy and loaded with malts. It has a sweet finish and a really pleasant roasted aftertaste (unlike some imperial stouts which kind of make me cringe in this regard). The alcohol is covered up by the panoply of flavor. It is surprisingly well-balanced and for an imperial stout this is amongst the most drinkable that I have ever had.
