Sampled at an esbls tasting. From Shep. Looks like a stout. Lactic nose with a bit of chocolate. The taste is also lactic with bittering hops. Some fruit and cocoa. A powdery feel. Not bad at all.

travita (2649) - Frisco, Texas, USA - APR 25, 2008
Vinegary like especially since they served it cold. It said it was a chocolate stout but it was not like any chocolate stout I have ever had. Slightly better as it warms then you can get some of the malt and caramel.

polomagnifico (940) - Saginaw, Michigan, USA - SEP 1, 2007
On tap at brewery. Good coffee and malt caramel on the nose. Decent bitters on the finish. However, very astringent and biting. Very odd taste and coating on the tongue. Too bad since it smell and looked the part.
