Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: black in the glass with a quarter finger of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark chocolate with roasted malts, light smoke and some dark fruits; sour to acidic character; some woodiness, some coffee; light vinegar-ish tones
Flavor: sour to light tart-like notes with the woody and vinegar tones following in nicely; light sweetness from the dark fruits; finishes with some coffee, dark fruits, dark chocolate and sweet wood
Texture: medium to full bodied, good sipper; light smoothness with sturdy acidic to tart to sour abrasiveness to the tongue, good dryness
Overall: I liked it for me but this isn't a beer for the faint of heart and make sure you have some water after this one, this beer doesn't play nicely with you.

Looks like a normal stout, but the aroma has got roasted malt, and smoke, but its also funky, and sour!
itโs like mixing a stout, and a lambic. The flavour is .............whoa, sour, and olive like. Like i said before, the flavour is like a mix of a lambic and stout, itโs roasty, but very sour. not very nice at all.
