Hells yes! Big fuck you to Homer321 for stowing this away in a perfectly legitimate shipment from John’s Grocery. Stored carefully in the attic under a pile of old blankets and rat traps waiting for the perfect opportunity to spring it on my unsuspecting "friends." Lets start with the bottle waxing - ok the string was a cool touch but what the fuck? Have you ever heard of practice? Now the pour. Being a breakfast stout and all I was totally unsurprised when the beer poured a clear reddish chestnut in color, with a small tan head that dissipated fairly quickly leaving some lacing. A beautiful color really, until you double take on the fact that this is a freaking stout. Minus 0.2. The aroma can best be described as weird; kind of an industrial cleaner wood alcohol thing, a bit of armpits, pepperoncini, cardboard, cigarette butts put out in coffee cups. Flavor is light sweet, definite funky bathroomy tartness, light bitterness. Industrial cleaner, airplane glue, cardboard and very very stale, like perhaps mopped off the floor of an all-night diner, coffee. Light body, low carbonation. Not the worst smelling beer ever (fart beer wins that hands down), but it might be the worst tasting. Score another victory for the Chefs! My primary concern at this moment is that I dumped all but about 4 ounces of this down the drain this afternoon. I sincerely hope that I haven’t inadvertently spawned a C.H.U.D.-like species of mutated sewer monsters.
