12oz Bottle thanks to Secret Santa. Pours out a cloudy brown with a ring as a head. Aroma was roast, infection, funk, dark fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Taste was not good. This tasting like it was an accident. A good porter that got infected and they slapped a special label on it. I think Deschutes could have done the same thing with the 09 Abyss and people would have been all over it. This one was not for me.

12 ounce bottle thanks to Deyholla. Pours a dark brown color, nearly black, with no head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, tobacco and a tart finish. The taste is tart cherries, chocolate, roasted malts, leafy hops and a faint vegetal note. Medium bodied.

Dark brown body with little to no head. Smoky, rotted fruit aroma. The flavor starts sweet with a sour finish. This is missing something that I find in true Flemish Sours. Tastes like an infected beer that they tried to pass off as a Sour.

Bottle. Poured brown with a red hue and minimal head. Aroma had notes of roasted malts, caramel and coffee. No signs of sour on the nose. The flavor how ever begins sour and tart with a bit of a coffee/roasted malt finish. But it was a bit thin. Different for sure.
