Bottle. Startling citrus lemon aroma, chocolate, coffee, grassy; hard sour edge is strange and interesting. Black andnshiny with a low, bubbly and rocky head. Flavor is huge lemon, plus oregano or thyme--reminds me of Grandma’s baked chicken in lemon and oregano! Chocolate flavor is hidden by the lemon, very sour, with a harsh, bitter finish. Some burnt wood and roasted malt in the background, but I struggle to find it. The lemon is overpowering and doesn’t fit in. My wife says the lemon was much more subdued at first, but I was too busy comparing the aromas to try it! Interesting but quite unpleasant.
