Tap at Bungalow. Black, oily, almost flat with a touch of lace. Nose is rum, molasses, chocolate, a bit of coffee. Rather tart flavor, seems some secondary fermentation with brett and/or lacto may have happened in the barrel. Lots of chocolate syrup, some coffee, grass, the hop is still there. Also grape, cherry, soy sauce. Soft and silky, but lighter than expected. Bitter, roasty and herbal hoppy finish. This was not what I expected but I enjoyed it immensely and would have even gone for another pint if I had time.
