Black Metal Farmhouse Imperial Stout, a.k.a. Iron Sword, a.k.a. Blackened Death, a.k.a. El Martillo del Muerte. Black Metal is a cruel and punishing brew fermented by the sheer force of its awesome will. Best enjoyed while pumping out blast beats, summoning trolls or enjoying a nice leisurely reading of the Necronomicon.

English Imperial Stout meets the Franco-Belgian Farmhouse tradition in this dry, drinkable beer; Pitch black in color with notes of chocolate, roasted and black malts coupled with earthy, peppery and floral farmhouse esters.

Admin Note: Through Batch #15 (released in 2013), Black Metal Farmhouse was brewed with a French Saison yeast.

Big bottle brought to cfobes tasting. Wow, the belgian yeast really sets off the roasty chocolate to make a very interesting mix. Different, but delicious.

Bottle. Black with a tan head that fades to a half inch and then to the rim. Aroma of licorice, coffee, chocolate, light floral and peppery notes that seem to float above the rest. That makes for a charming aroma, but when it continues in the mouth it’s disconcerting. There’s a biggish stout that’s pleasant if blandish with mocha, dark fudge and a peppery bitter bite overlaid with a somehow separate floral/ herbal and light barnyard touch. The flavours never mesh at all really but it’s somehow not a car crash. Intriguing.
