Very smoothed out roasted stout flavor with a fair bit of complexity. Hard to identify the side flavors in here, but cacao was probably the dominant one. No detectable sourness. I don't typically like this beer, but aging really helps it.
Disappointing given its reputation. Thick, but has the astringent sourness of a bad stout. Especially doesn't fare well after the Serpent Stout, although that isn't exactly fair.
