Bottle shared with other. Pours a clear dark brown with a brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of earthy dark grains with a bit of dark fruit and not much else. Flavor has dark red fruit and earthy grains that is quite thin.

Big thanks to Nick for popping this rarity. The cool looking 1 liter swing top pours out mahogany with tall mocha colored head. The aroma is full up earthiness mixing with cheesy pasta, some red wine tartness and chocolate malt balls. The taste has chocolate malts, full up earthiness rimed with spicy hops mixing with a bit of charred to the point of being brittle malts, wet tobacco leaves like earthiness. It feels like a 4% ABV beer making it seem the 10% bottle claimed ABV suspect. Certainly an interesting beer though.
