Medium brown. No head. Nice butterscotchy diacetyl aroma. I mean that's a lot of fucking butter. And it's kind of that rancid butter. On the palate, still there. Certainly there are dark malts and a decent bitterness under that thick blanket of diacetyl slime. There's a beer there, but that butter infection is pretty horrific.

355mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Nose is dominated by diacetyl—damn is that egregious—with a touch of roast. Flavour is pretty offensive, with intense diacetyl that is only slightly covered over by the malt; not much hop content. Very messed up and difficult to drink.

355mL bottle. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Buttered popcorn, toasted malts, and some soft pine on the nose. Flavour has some toasted malts, dry pine, and a lingering chemical bitterness. Long lingering diacetyl aftertaste. There is some decent black IPA here, but it's smothered to death by diacetyl. Unfortunate.
