1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Appearance: pours with a plum and rhubarb head – bubbly and dense with lace fractures. Deep ruby and mahogany hues.
Nose: grape pomace and rhubarb. Leather and wine soaked barrels – old and well-used. Bark and cardboard lurks in the back.
Palate: thin and bland – a far cry from its relatively tempting nose. Hint of rhubarb and plum along the sides. Stale chocolate powder in the middle. Pervasive presence of bark and cardboard.
Final Thoughts: a borderline drain pour, I ended up not dumping the remaining contents down the drain but I sure as heck didn’t enjoy it either. Stale, bland, confused. The only thing worthy of a drop kick is this beer right into the stratosphere to never be seen from again.
