Draft @ brewpub. Pitch black. No head at all. Totally flat like a glass of flat cola. Nose has sourness. Strange sour plum candy aroma. Thin palate is oily with slight carbonation. Flavors are not as bad as the aromas. Kit beer with a few redeeming features like foreign stout dark fruit flavors and a mild bitter finish. Lingering bitter fruity finish. Tastes better than it smells.

Now that one was pretty rancid. A deep dark lager with a thin brown head. Light aroma of black olives, with sulfury notes. In mouth, a sourish beer, with brine, green olives, acidic, a very sad and infected mess....On tap at brewpub, Oct. 25 2010.

Looks like Pepsi, it has that much head. Smells a little bit like tar, Labatt Guinness and liquorice root, though not nearly as appetizing as any of those things. Sweet, with tarry and liquoricey accents. Not entirely hideous. Thin and flat, it leaves quite a bit to be desired.
