Packed with rich chocolate, light roast and sweet maltiness. This beer is incredibly smooth and drinkable.

Can on the bus. Black with airy beige froth. Chocolate, roasted malt and coffee aroma. Similar flavour, sweetish yet dry, roasted. Has a little fruity hops in the finish. Feels a little light but packs a good deal of flavour.

Leider etwas wässrig, auch im Aroma schwer auszumachen. Sehr leicht, schwache Röstnoten.

There is certainly an unwanted sourness in this, however it actually works with the beer. The carbonation is far too high when cracked from the infection. 2017 advent calendar.

(Bottle) clear, very dark brown colour with a medium tall brown head; aroma of sour fruit jam; lightly sour flavour with a long, light sour and medium strong mineral, ashy, bitter finish; smooth palate; strange but not as horrible as many make it sound

Can from Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds. Dark brown, only very slightly translucent, with a ring of khaki head. Chocolate malt, some light smoke and liquorice, blackberry on the nose. Sweet taste turning slightly bitter/sour on the finish. Harsh and slightly astringent aftertaste. Oily body, low carbonation. A mixed bag but good overall.

Infected, terribly bad.

355mL bottle, pours black with a very large foamy tan head, hinting at a disturbance with the bottle. Aroma is metallic, with bitterness, earthy notes, and a touch of toasted malt. Flavour is infected, with unpleasant sourness and messy yeast. Undrinkable infected beer.

Dark brown. On the nose, just a thinnish chocolate sort of thing. High carbonation, that kills the taste, but the taste is basically just not happening...it's got a touch of sweetness but that's it. No complexity but the fizz would kill that anyway. Well, this just didn't work out.
