Pacific Hop Exchange 06 Stout

Pours black with brown head. Aroma is decent for the style. Flavor was horrible, maybe infected, but just seemed very bland in general.

Bottle courtesy of Styles. Black color with a brown head. Disturbingly well carbonated for an aged beer. Aroma is chocolate and a touch of coffee. Sinister notes of bandaid are also detected. Thin and watery. Flavors are off. Perhaps old, perhaps infected.

Bottle: Smells very much like an imperial stout and very similar to Dark Horse Imperial Stout. Aromas of dark chocolate, black licorice, coffee, and light alcohol. Pours a dark brown, virtually black, with a tan head that lasts a minute or so. Has a watery, lightly smoked coffee flavor with some light chocolate and black coffee finish. Thin mouthfeel. Too bad it doesn’t taste as good as it smelled.
