Cloudy dark brown with no head - aroma of tobacco, toffee and damp coffee grounds that have been sitting in the machine for a few days - quite sour to start - this makes way for a mild roastiness and a rather prominent and unpleasant ash flavor - burnt/stale coffee flavor makes its way in - this beer is very out of whack - as has been noted, it’s a stout, but it has sour ale qualities - mix old coffee in and you’ve got yourself one palate-confusing beer.
