Funk Metal is an unfiltered, unpasteurized, naturally conditioned imperial stout fermented with farmhouse yeast, aged for months in oak barrels with wild yeast and souring bacteria, and then hand-blended with other barrel-aged beer to round out the palate. The finished beer retains aromas of chocolate and roast but takes on a distinct vinous character and sour complexity from extended aging and fermentation in oak barrels.

Awesome sour Stout. Brown black, looks like an Imperial Stout. Has a pronounced sourness. Chocolate and sour intermingle quite nicely. Awesome.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are sour malt, lactose acid, brett, roast malt, chocolate, coffee and hops. Weird with a sour stout, but still good.

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 25 July 2013) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted, funky nose with coffee, chocolate, wild yeast and barnyard. Roasted, malty, tart taste with notes of balsamic vinegar, coffee, dark chocolate, oak wood, funky yeast and a dry, tart finish with a slightly roasty bitterness. Almost full body. Dry and sour. This really is quite different, possibly not loved by everyone, but in my opinion very tasty, surprisingly well balanced and quite lovely. And when Rage Against the Machine started coming out of the speakers ... perfection was close. Lovely beer!
