Can. Dark brown pour, with a large off white head. Aroma is nutty, with some soft tartness, and and weird vegetal notes. Mouth feel is very thin, carb is over the top. Finish is sour, wet paper, spolied nuts. This is infected.

After having a first one from this brewery (IPA) and was not impressed, hope this one will be better. Dark brown colour with ruby highlights. The head is big, frothy, light mocha-coloured, decent lasting with a little lace. Dark fruits in the nose with some banana notes (wheat?). Not sure if I am getting some infection again, but hidden more in this one with the darker fruits. Lots of molasses with some light hops in the finish. Not syrupy because of this, so a little better for sure. There might be hope.

Can. Medium brown. Not much head. The aroma is a bit raisiny, like a kvass or one of the macrobrewed porters they had in Quebec until the 90s. On the palate, it's thin and light. There's a smokey raisin note that I like - and fits with the style quite well - but I don't like how thin it is. The malt character is empty. The bitterness is quite low, lower than it should be for balance. I find the concept of the brewery interesting. I'm all for giving Persia its due - the Cyrus the Great seal is a nice touch - but the beer seems to cut corners. The smokey raisin thing is interesting, reminds a bit of having pasita in Puebla, but the thin cardboardy notes aren't doing it any favours.
