One of the best stouts I’ve had. Flavors were roasted and slightly smokey including chocolate, coffee, and even caramel. Smooth and dark. Very tasty!

750ml. bottle. Poured extremely dark, very dark tan head as well. Smell a little hops in the nose, dark malts of course. Bitter taste, lingers for awhile, not too bitter though. Kind of thin.

Very dark, opaque, huge two-toned mocha head. Signature JP funkiness. For a stout, quite dry, slightly roasty, a little sweet of licorice. Sweet label art (and cool name), but this isn’t really what I go for in a stout or sour ale. Doesn’t work for me.

This beer has a nice nose full of strong roasted aroma that vanishes at the first sip where overwhellming white wine-like acidity comes in with a hint of apple. It has a nice colour and quickly disapearing head. Very confusing but fun to drink.

My feeble mind and palate are far to simplistic to understand this glass of liquid confusion. A bone dry "foreign stout"? My whole world has been turned upside down face.

Bottle - 750ml. Pours an opaque black body with low carbonation and a thick beige pillowy head. Strong malty/hoppy aroma with roasty, fruity, and black chocolate hints. Sharp hoppy taste that ends with a long bitter/sour finish.
