COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Late in November of 2011, Mike Rodriguez our head brewer asked about creating a Coffee and Cacoa Nib version of Serpent’s Stout for the San Diego Strong Ale Festival. The beer was a hit with our fans. When we wrote up the syllabus for the Ultimate Box Set, we knew a version of this beer would be included. We waited until the very end of the release schedule to put this beer in a bottle so that the coffee and cacoa nibs really come through. Four Bourbon barrels were selected for their rich and dense chocolate flavors. One week before packaging, we added 17 lbs of Ryan Brothers Coffee and 4 lbs of TCHO Cacao Nibs were added to the coffee and cacao to steep before packaging.

Svesse (14192) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - FEB 4, 2023
UPDATED: FEB 4, 2023 (Bottle, thanks to Håkan) Black colour with no head. Malty, roasted, vinous nose with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, cacao, treacle and a touch of fresh asphalt. Malty, roasted taste with espresso, dark chocolate, cacao, oak wood, vanilla, liquorice, dried fruit, prunes, raisins, a touch of tamarind and a sweetish, vinous finish with a generous cacao bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Really powerful and tasty, with lots of coffee, chocolate and oak. Still in good balance. Lovely beer!

IvoR (97) - New Jersey, USA - MAY 19, 2021
UPDATED: MAY 19, 2021 Bottle from my stash. Pours dark black with no head at all. I thought the bottle may have gone bad, but then the aroma hit. Sharp rich aroma of caramel and coffee. Flavor is equally bold of raspbeerries, chocolate, and a touch of vanilla. Very nice on the palate, too, with barely any alcohol taste up front. Delightful beer and will be one I'll remember.

DenverLogan (3311) - Burien, Washington, USA - DEC 6, 2020
UPDATED: DEC 6, 2020 On tap at Super Deli Mart in Seattle. Their notes say: 2016 Vintage Track #10, Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout Finished on Coffee & Cacao Nibs ABV: 14.0%. Anyway, it's big, bold, rich and flavorful with minimal oxidation if it's really from 2016. Lacking a bit on sweet malts but certainly potent.

PlutonowyMan (2203) - Baardegem, BELGIUM - JUL 5, 2020
UPDATED: JUL 5, 2020 Kolor czarny jak smoła, bez prześwitów. Piana ciemno brązowa, niska, nietrwała. Redukuje się do wątłego pierścienia.  Aromat jest intensywny, słodki, czekoladowy, są nuty likieru kawowego, wanilia i delikatne nuty kokosowe. Z czasem kokos staje się intensywniejszy. Smak to mieszanina słodkich nut czekoladowych i likierowych z wyraźnym akcentem palonym kawowym. Kawa, paloność wnoszą do smaku goryczkę. Choć nie wysoka, dodaje pazura. Alkohol fantastycznie ukryty. Wysycenie niskie. Ciało wysokie. Tekstura jest miękka, aksamitna. Płyn jest lepki. Posmak długi kawowy.

Ljus (872) - Quebec, CANADA - JUN 20, 2020
UPDATED: JUN 20, 2020 Apparence : Noire, col et carbonatation pratiquement absents.
Nez : Café, chocolat, bourbon avec sa pointe d’alcool, malt grillé. <br Goût : Café et chocolat noir, malt grillé, fut de bourbon avec ses aspects boisés et alcoolisés, finale sur un sucre résiduel aux arômes de cassonade.
Sensation : Corps moyen-plus, chaleureuse, bonne tenue en bouche.
Bref : Ça c'est bien fait; c'est riche, c'est profond, c'est équilibré et présente les multiples facettes du malt, des ingrédients et du fut. Petite bouteille dispendieuse qui en valait le prix.

AssKicker (2577) - Strasbourg, FRANCE - JAN 4, 2020
UPDATED: JAN 4, 2020 Couleur dark de circonstance, mousse quasi-inexistente. Nez puissant sur le chocolat, le vanillé et le Bourbon. Top ! En bouche c'est bien intense, là encore sur le chocolat, la vanille, le Bourbon et un peu le boisé. Ce dernier prend de l'ampleur en fin de bouche. Les premières gorgées paraissent alcooleuses, mais cette sensation de dissipe avec le temps, bien que les 13,5 fassent leur effet. Carbo faible, un peu trop d'ailleurs, dommage. Mais pour sûr ça demeure bien bon !

JStax (10650) - Devola/Marietta, Ohio, USA - OCT 19, 2019
UPDATED: OCT 19, 2019 375 ml bottle poured into a brandy snifter. The beer is a thick black with a thin head of beige foam. In the aroma I get bits of raisin and cherry skins. There’s a roasty coffee and ashy note in the finish. Bigger body and medium carbonation.

4.1
hohops (2379) - Kent, ENGLAND - OCT 16, 2019
UPDATED: OCT 16, 2019 Appearance is oily black, brown tinges, no head to speak of. Aroma is whisky, booze, brownie, fudge cake, coffee, treacle, tar, newly tarmaced road, oak barrel, vanilla, touch of smoke, port wine, rum-soaked dark fruit, leather. Taste- whisky, dark rum, smooth chocolate, treacle, dark malts, coffee, dark chocolate torte, oaky woody notes, bitter undertones, flat mouthfeel, oily coating in the mouth. Boozy but doesn’t taste like 13.5. Tasty stuff, let down a bit by the flatness.

VDuquerroux (5048) - Airvault, Haut-Poitou, FRANCE - AUG 31, 2019
UPDATED: AUG 31, 2019 Monday, August 26, 2019. Bottle. Kindly shared by Calisky ! Merci Fred 2 super dégustations, ces Lost Abbey :) With Jaghana. @Strasbourg of course (67). A sparkling very dark brown beer with a light to medium beige foamy ephemeral head. Chocolate++, alcohol, coffee+ (nice!), light wood, bourbon++, light peat. Medium round sweet, warming lasting atmosphere, light to medium dry, light bitter. Good body, average thin texture, soft gaseous, bourbon dry finish. Overall, awesome, wicked :)

Calisky (5253) - ALSACE, FRANCE - AUG 26, 2019
UPDATED: AUG 26, 2019 Couleur noire, légère mousse beige. Super nez café-chocolaté, chêne, vanillé, alcool. Gout malté noir, reglisse, liquoreux, vanille, chêne, alcool, super intense au début puis bien rond en bouche et leger avec un coté tourbé et vieux fruits caramelisés cuit en fin de bouche. Magnifique! brassage de maitre
