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.

Bottle. Pours with a black body with a massive tan head. Aromas are roasty, smokey, nutty, marcona almonds, chocolate, dark fruits, medium phenolic notes. Flavors are roasty, bready, toasted malt, quite dry for a big RIS, dates, raisins, marcona almonds, ashy, currants, tobacco and very dark bakers chocolate. Medium to fuller bodied yet dry. Medium carbonation. Mild alcohol warmth. I think I prefer the original version.

Bottle with Steve and the Foco BA crew. Black appearance with a medium sized, dark brown head. Spicy yeasty, orange citrusy, roasty malty aroma. Spicy, somewhat peppery, roasty dark malty, light chocolate flavor. Ok.

On tap at Petrol Station Anniversary party. Pours a oil black with a paperthin beige head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is roasted malts and chocolate. Thin mouthfeel with a smoke roast malt and chocolate with a nice smokey finish. Easy to drink hiding the alcohol well, a very good variation of this Imperial stout from Jester King.
