Pours an average density solid black with a thin beige foamy head. Interesting aroma with notes of yeast, roastiness, coffee, dark fruit and milk. Thin bodied with light carbonation. Doughy flavor with notes of coffee, chocolate, and vinegar. This really isn’t my favorite style although I have tried a few. I guess it’s alright if you like this sort of thing.
