This beer offers an aroma of ground coffee. The color is dark dark brown and has no head or lacing. A coffee tast that leaves a sour taste lingering.

The most carbonated stout I've had as of yet. Poured with a huge soda like head that was formed from large bubbles. Has a smokey aroma with some notes of coffee. Feels a bit thin on the palate and highly carbonated like soda water. Flavor is a bit stale so this may be an old bottle. Bitter and dry with not much flavor.

Well, I got the same explosive result as Volgon and thought the same thing, but I’m pretty sure my bottle IS slightly off - a sour, acidic taste troubles the brew. Despite these two negatives (carbonation and acidic note), a fair enough dry roasty flavour does fight its way to the palate now and again, so I’m guessing it’s a decent stout fresh and at the brewery and I’ll account for that in the ’flavour’ mark. I do have cousins in Atlanta, so I’ll be able to rerate at some point. This rating will work til then - the ’best by’ stamp indicates July 02, so it’s fair to knock them for the off flavours, I reckon.
