Intergalactic Planetary Planetary Intergalactic from Alpha Project

7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Bottle thanks to Stuu666. This was bottled in 2015 so a balanced view will be taken. Appearance - opaque black, big fawn head. Nose - big sour malt vinegar and loads of wood. Taste - still some sour but dark chocolate dominates. Palate - medium bodied, dry roast and under note if sour. Overall - not as it was intended but very interesting.
