smells like a funky stout. not like other belgian stouts I have had. very malty smell. lots of chocolate - and FUNK. crazy lacing, underlying earthy herb type taste. puckering. and interesting beer that everyone should try. but onlly buy one bottle

33cl bottle from Barley Wine. It poured a pitch black colour with a huge beige foamy head that settled down slowly in the glass leaving about a finger height roof. The aroma is acidious but is also heavy on the coffee. The flavour is also acidious and reminds me of a sour ale. The flavour tastes of coffee, roasted malts and a hint of vinegar(!?). It has a lingering aftertaste.

Pours a dark dark black with four enormous fingers of silky, creamy chocolate colored head that does not go away. Aroma is roasty malt, chocolate and alcohol. Very strong roasted body, sweet chocolate, slight dark fruits, then pretty big bitter coffee and hop finish.

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a chalky black. Pretty good chocolate and coffee nose. Flavors a bit watery but chocolate and coffee are there with some yeast and caramel. Not too bad of a beer.

Poured dark brown, almost black, with a ridiculously large tan head. Chocolate and toffee aromas, but the flavor is dominated more by the coffee. Full-bodied with a lasting finish, but not a great finish. I was hoping for more.
