3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Short-lived beige head over jet-black beer. Ureum, dry hops, dried saltmeadow herbs going to a certain coastaroma (DMS?) and of course bitter-roasted: intrinsically complex. Sweet-bitterish. Except for the urem, still there, perpendicular to the nose, weird. Rich-voluptuous-slick; vicous to chewy, full-bodied- need to say more? Rich, rewarding stout. Great to see Mike going from strength to strength, as from brewery to brewery! Great find, Stefaan!
