Serpent's Stout - Bourbon Barrel-Fermented
The Lost Abbey - The Tasting Room

 

Black in color, tan in full inch mode. Aroma was interesting, funky, woody, earthy. This was like Splinter Black levels of woodiness. Small amounts of bourbon and chocolate, the wood went big all the way over everything else in the aroma, I liked it ultimately, quite a bit.

Taste hid the booze quite well. Strong beer, but drinks lighter than its malt bill or strength.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours nearly black with a small tan head. A little bit funky on the nose. Lots of booze and wood notes, maybe a touch of acetone. There’s plenty of roasted malt and a little bit of coffee. The flavor is a bit smoother than the nose would let on. Roasted malt, a touch of chocolate, coffee, and a surprising amount of bourbon/barrel flavor.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to ZX6Chris for this one hand bottled

Look: Pitch black and totally opaque with no real head

Smell: Upfront is quite a bit of bourbon and quite a bit of alcohol. Cocoa nibs are definitely present

Taste: For me the beer has quite a bit of chocolate upfront and just the right amount of bourbon. However there is quite a bit of alcohol present which was a bit surprising for me.

Mouthfeel: Full body and almost no carbonation

Overall: Good beer maybe just slightly better than the base beer. I am so glad I got the chance to try this very rare beer
