3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from either fiulijn or Papsoe, whoever it was HUGE thanks! Poured a black body with a small off white head. Coffee, peach, sweet rubber gum, sweet but relatively fresh. The taste kicks out really bitter, crudely so in the beginning, showing some vaguely aromatic herbal hints and grinding into dust a nice sof roasty maltiness. Slightly yoghurty. Overall a pretty good stout but too hopped.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
sweet looking bottle via dakine on 6/6/10. the last of the night. bb9/4/10.
orange shade of black.
smells of green peppers, black peppercorns, roast, sweet grain, molasses, mud and wet wood.
the taste is a mix of the aroma... a little salty, muddy, twigs, tar, molasses, smoke and a spicy finish. it is far sweeter than need be...
thick full body is aided by hop and alcohol dryness. 7/4/7/3/14/3.5
