3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle… Pours pitch black with a large, fluffy, well-tanned head. Excellent, slowly receding, creamy retention. Nice cocoa aroma intermingled with lots of earthiness, woodiness, some funkiness and vinous notes. Full-bodied with buzzing carbonation. The flavor offers interwoven mocha, moderate dark malt sweetness, moderate to medium black malt and hop bitterness, mild earthiness and a whisper of acidity. Moderately bitter mocha finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours an opaque black with a tiny, rough off-white head. Interesting lactic nose, some rotten plums also. Medium body, hard roasted malts, loads and loads of lacto - close to acetone. Hardly any bitterness in the finish but rather sour. This probably is off, but in a lovely fashion. 080210
