Bottle. [thank you, Skortila]
Pours dark, almost black. Small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is light tart, roasted, lots of berries notes. Medium carbonation, a bit thin. Flavour is definitely infected, berries, caramel. Sour and gross.

Pours with a slowly rising guinness-like head, beige in colour, black black body. Aroma of lacquered wood, varnish, barley. Taste is oak and a hint of hazelnut. Smooth mouthfeel, almost no carbonation. A very good stout.

KnutAlbert (4377) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 9, 2009
Bottle. Lively carbonation, the head almost comes out iof the bottle. Very dark red. Coffee, liquorice, but surprise, it’s a sour ale. Wether this is intentional, I don’t know. Like one of those single estate coffees with lots of acid. I don’t think this is properly under contol, especially not since it’s labelled a stout.

marcus (3763) - Sacramento, California, USA - MAY 26, 2009
This dark brown ale poured with a modest beige head that dissipated in a few seconds. There is a cola and coffee aroma. The flavor is quite unusual, with elements of plum, licorice and sour malt, and a slilghtly soapy finish.

bhensonb (7137) - Woodland, California, USA - MAY 25, 2009
Bottle from La Cave a Bulles. BB Sep 2010. Pours a dark brown with a fizzy tan head. Aroma is spritely cola. Perhaps with a touch of prune. Near medium body with strongish carbonation. Perhaps a hint of citrus or sour malt. Finishes smooth and lightly tart.
