This is a dark, black beer with a moderately sized beer. It's aroma is interesting...smokey, a touch of roasted malt, a wheat-chaff twang, and some funky yeast. No notable hop aroma. The taste is moderately sweet with a bit of sour-ish flavor. Just enough for balance. Not much bitterness. Musty and earthy. Smoke character comes out more throughout the experience. Moderately light body. All in all, this is an interesting concept, but a mediocre beer.

Had this one for a while (obviously) and tonight seemed right. Enjoyed from an oversized terrapin snifter.
a - brew pours a dark brown that settles in the glass as black with chestnut highlights to the light. A generous frothy foamy grey head hung out for a while with a creamy almost Belgian look.

s - nose is soft fruit leading with Apple and pear.

t - taste starts with the same apple and pear and then is tsunamied with a bready toasted oxidized tartness. Yeasty

m - feel is over carbed and fizzy

o - overall this probably should've been drank long ago. Not really that great now.
