Bottle purchased from small store in Albany NY when visiting from out of state. Have to conclude t was sitting there for a long tome. No date on bottle. Spewed upon opening. Continued spewing after pouring out half. Taste had hints of something better, but it was pretty stale.

Bottled. Super big fluffy head. Bright amber pour. Pretty complex for a pale, some yeast and a bit of citrus

Bottle. Pours inky black with small foamy tan head, mocha caramel aroma, medium carbonation, dark chocolate/mocha taste with alcohol undertones, thin body, long bitter mocha finish. Well done, though a bit thin.

Rating # 6300! Bottle from Half Time. Murky darker reddish color with a fizzy, quick dissipating head. Caramel, dark fruit, raisin, some light booze. Fairly sweet, a little sticky. Solid mouthfeel. Decent stuff.

Dark brown, aroma of orange, plums. Some dark malts. Toasty dark malts with a mellow oat accent, a fair bit of dark fruitiness. Touch of acidity late. Not coming together super well, but not all bad either.

Bottle - Coffee, chocolate and some molasses notes. Deep jet brown with a light brown head. Light sour coffee highly carbonated and a light finish. Likely a bit infected but not horrible.

Tasting at Matt’s
Dark brown color, near black; the brownish head is short lived. It seems to be a not bad beer originally, but it’s infected, and quite sour; not drinkable as is.

650ml bottle at Matt’s. Aroma is coffe notes, toasted malt. Taste is quite sour with coffee notes. Meh.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is a bit all over the place, with caramel, candied sugar, dark fruits, coffee and roasted malt -- strange combo of notes. Flavour is dominated by dark dried fruits upfront, followed by candied sugar, a touch of tartness, and subdued coffee. The sourness definitely indicates something wrong here. Not disastrous, but there's something a bit off here.
