Jul 5, 2008 Bottle shared by JoeMcPhee - dark brown, fizzy, cola-looking beer - aroma of vanilla and cocoa, with some odd notes of boiled vegetables underneath - thin and watery flavor, with some bitter coffee and cocoa notes, and some leafy tobacco character - dry and a little bit tart in the finish - reminds me of weak coffee in a lot of ways - thin, bland, uninteresting.
