Yet another rating that somehow disappeared from my RB account some time in the past year. This beer is not your traditional stout. Its very strange, almost metallic. Pours an almost jet black. It didn’t impress me much, just seemed a bit off. Medium to light body with medium carbonation.

This was a mediocre beer for me. It’s listed under stouts, but it is really a black ale. It feels like drinking a flat watered down coke at first. However, once the beer settles on the palate it surprises you with a bite of flavor. The flavor and aroma resemble burnt coffee before beer, but not entirely bad. If it was labeled as a kind of coffee ale, I wouldn’t like it any more, but the flavor and aroma would seem less accidental.
