Thx! for sharing. Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Black with no head. Nose is hugely smoked soy sauce, varnish, light nail polish. Taste is glue, varnish, soy sauce, sugar, nail polish, herbal chocolate, heavy umami smoke,… Thick syrup body. Odd with the vanish, nail polish, smoked soy sauce notes,… Potentially polarizing but I am not a big fan of umami forward beers esp. coupled with odd notes like here.
