Jun 18, 2002 Bottled. Darkish brown, nearly opaque cloudy color topped with a decent quick-dying head; I got little lacing though. Nose is subtly malty with a hint of floral hoppiness. I thought the flavor pretty bold upfront, with some chocolate and almond nuttiness; kind of backs off at the end and the body could be more, but overall a nice effort. The only Stone Coast I picked up on my recent Maine trip, but I’ll try to find more.

Apr 1, 2002 Nice hint of hops in the aroma that did not materialize in the flavour. Nice and crisp and light.

Mar 31, 2002 Very interesting brew. I found it to be light, but still very much having a full flavor. I’d love to be able to try it again sometime.

Nov 7, 2001 Nice deep dark color, decent head, generous lace. Malt nose with some floral undertones and to me just a hit of cocoa, full body, nice hop presence, but not overly so. Moderate carbonation and somewhat dry finish. Quite a good beer, thanks Venom!

Oct 17, 2001 One of the best NE versions of an Alt. Excellent malt backbone of dry roasted nuts with some cocoa notes and fruity taste as well. Crisp and bitter balance adds to its charm. A nice brew that gets better warm.
