Bottle at Chriso NY Tasting 2010. Black lasting tan head. Musty not as sweet as i feared. Still its pretty poor. Some choc.

UPDATED: SEP 24, 2006 black with barely a brown head. bitter dark chocolate, and red wine aroma with a hint of wood. roasted barley and red wine flavors. very carbonated. light-med bodied. dry, chalky aftertaste. flavor isn’t very robust. terrible wine flavor. i struggled to finish the six pack.

Pours almost black with a thin brown head that is completely gone after 3 seconds. The aroma is almost non-existant. I can smell a hint of licorice, alcohol, cola, and malt, but that’s it. The flavor of this one is very poor - it doesn’t taste like a stout at all. It’s more like a crappy pilsner imitating a stout. There is really nothing good about this beer. It has a very harsh, bitter taste that is not in the least pleasant, and the palate is watery and chalky. Drain pour!

Bottle. Black no head, lil lacing. Jet fuelish roast malt, sitting not too well with a bit much alcohol. carny (that’s a mix of can corn and a weird old carinival dirty man), bitter, not good, not smooth, no nice flavors, not repulsive really but just lame.

Bottle - Chris O’s pre-NY tastings. Bad buy by me .Oh well. Sweet malts; caramel and soy source. Really nothing much going in this and I’m incredibly disappointed as I thought this would be a nice beer. Dried out hops and metallic taste. Clear bottle - light shot probably. Weak Guinness immitation which tastes more like Newcastle Brown Ale.
