COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Not for the faint hearted! Our stout rewards the palate with robust flavor of roasted malts (malts are roasted like coffee beans) and heavy hops. A creamy smooth surprise.

crazyvin (1692) - New York, USA - MAY 17, 2013
A mostly black body with some red highlights. A nice beige head that had nice retention and decent lace. Aroma had a heavy roasted coffee note with some mild sweetness to balance it out. Flavor seemed to have a little more going on. There was some nice bold coffee flavors. A slight hint of chocolate and smoke added to the roasted quality. Some mild citrus hops in the after taste. A very dry finish and nice mouth feel.

574deadzone (538) - North Central, Indiana, USA - MAY 15, 2013
Pours dark brown to black with a fairly buoyant toffee-colored head that settles to a ring and leaves some spotty lace. Nose involves plenty of roasted malt, licorice notes, some faint bakers chocolate, a little toast, and touches of herbal hops. Balanced flavor between bitter and sweet, moderate amounts of both. Softer, creamy palate, not too heavy, a touch sticky, with a pleasant toasty drying bitter finish. A nice brew, comes across as a stout for all seasons, as it isn’t too imposing body-wise, producing a nice drinkability. Enjoyable.

Smells chocolately with a faint hint of coffee. Very roasted type smells. Almost no head. Very carbonated mouthfeel. A little less carbonation might make this better. Taste is roasty malts and a little bit of sweetness, maybe from the oatmeal?

GIJOE (127) - Monterey, California, USA - APR 14, 2013
Pours black with brown shades in the few spots where light gets through. Tan head that stays around the edge for a good while. Aroma is dark yeasty malt, dark-roasted coffee, dark bitter chocolate, and a hint of anise. Flavor is sweet coffee and cream up front and chocolatety bitterness back. Thick, creamy mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Very nice brew!

Super solid stout from Lost Cost. Wonderful malts, hints of chocolate and an smoky flavored back end. One of the best out there. Try it!

andrewturba (456) - Alberta, CANADA - MAR 29, 2013
Pours a black that lets just a little bit of light through it and a nice big sticky tan head that sticks all the way up the glass and sticks around as a 1/4 inch cap. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee and cream like, mild dark fruits, some sweetness and dark chocolate. Flavour consists of roasted malts, coffee, creamy feel, mild earthy bitterness, dark chocolate and a nice light sweetness. Loving this, great beer!

Bottle. Dark brown pour with tan head. Smells of chocolate and roasted malts. Tastes very sweet on the front with a bitter dark chocolate aftertaste. Very good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
