Pilot Balsamic Stout

On tap at Faculty, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out balsamic vinegar, sewer water and light toasted malt. Flavour is just all wrong, with tart balsamic, garbage, and acidity. Just a terrible idea and poorly executed. Bad.

Draft pour at Faculty. Found a beer that I could add, and sneak onto the site and rate, under the local powerful raters' noses. Checklist almost complete. Dark and dense brown pour. Cola tan fizz head. This beer doesn't even sound good to me, but I had to see for myself. Off aroma. Hard to describe. Balsamic, sure. And other things. Just off. Flavor is what they say it is. Balsamic front, with subtle flavors of plum like dark fruit, and even more hinted, chocolate like notes. Roasted linger. Dog treats. This was so far away from my type of flavor profile. Somebody out there thought this was a good idea. I don't want to be mean, but I highly disagree.
