Really interesting stuff. Dry and tangy. Ample dark roast, ashy bitterness, leathery berries, musty funk, old wood, tar, tobacco. Novel.

Bottle from Lupe Pintos. Dark brown body with ruby highlights and a thin beige head. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of liquorice and wood. Flavour of soy sauce and rusty metal. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. A tangy, unique stout.
