22 oz. bottle - unfairly opened alongside lost abbey serpent’s stout, but a very nice stout nevertheless; pours dark brown and clear along the edges; a little fizzy; aromas of chocolate and roasted malts are a little on the mild side; smooth, medium body and drinks with a nice creamy roastiness

Sep 23, 2008 22 fl oz bottle. Pours pitch dark with a lovely creamy and chocolate brown head slowly diminishing in this lovely melting way into the beer beneath. Chocolate, roasted malt, mild vanilla and light hops fruity aroma. Flavour has all of this in a nice creamy blend with a fruity flavour that lends itself towards a blackberry note. Medium sweet and fruity hops finish swept in a nice creamy chocolate malty and slight tarish roasted malt finish. Lovely and highly drinkable!

Sep 17, 2008 On tap. Flavors and aroma of bitter chocolate and an interesting smokey characteristic. Pretty malty. No sweetness to speak of of. Pours a jet black. Good, not great stout.

Aug 31, 2008 From a 22 0z. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is full of dark chocolate and coffee. Earthy hop aroma. Opaque black with a thick light brown head. Citrusy hop flavors followed by bready malt and then chocolate and roast. Not overly bitter. Balanced nicely with the hops and malt. Dry, no residual sweetness, but thick and chewy. Very nice.

Aug 23, 2008 Black pour with a tan head. Slightly over carbonated. Roasty aroma. Chocolate & espresso with a crisp clean palate.

Aug 15, 2008 Veltety black color and thick dark tan froth and faint burnt malt and bready aroma. Taste is an immediate and strong mouthful of roast espresso and smooth creamy palate.
