Opened the bottle and it started gushing everywhere...sigh...
It gushed for 20 minutes...finally got some drinkable beer into the glass under four fingers of dark caramel head.
Aromas, are hard to pick up...some spice, some metallic...smells off.
Taste is similar, kind of tangy, some metal and bitter coffee. This isn't right.
Overall, this beer was a total failure in every respect.

The bottle gushed uncontrollably. Assume there's a problem with the bottle. Even after sitting for a lengthy period of time it was almost undrinkable.

2013 vintage, foamy, smells of coffee grounds, a little acidic, maybe a small amount of infection?

About a third of the bottle foamed over. Mouthfeel was more like a can of pop than a beer. Taste was still excellent, dominated by dark chocolate and coffee.

Thanks Don for sharing! Quick review from notes.
Opened this over the sink and it literally did not stop gushing until a third of the bottle was left. We caught most of it with glasses but it was flowing out fast and nonstop.
Brown foam, brownish black body with good clarity.
Aroma was roasty with a slight sharpness that hinted towards an infection.
Taste was similarly roasty with nice accents of pipe tobacco and leather.
Body was medium but way overcarbonated and a little thin feeling as a result.
Worth a try, not sure if most bottles are infected, but be warned.

Lg. shared bottle at RBWG-2015.
Essentially black body with a thin head that reduces to a very durable ring.
Aroma is off, as i confirmed with another taster. The flavor holds up better, but there are some off notes in addition to alcohol esters and dark roasted grains. A bit too sweet as well.
