Purchased at the Bacchanalia, a fantastic offie in Cambridge. Coming in a 500ml brown bottle, bottlle-conditioned. BBE Aug. 2007, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: pours a nearly black hue, with red-grapey purple-brown shades; the light tan frothy beer head comes thick and lasts very well; the carbonation is supposedly
S: quite pronounced--sour prunes, sour cherries and musty yeasts sit on top of a deeper layer of sweet coffee, toffee, and sour-bitter raw nuts. Overall the nose is a tad too tart, but, as it warms, the aroma turns milder in sourness and shows an Old-Ale like aroma.
T: good lord the flavour is as sour as the nose, if not more a mouthful of astringently tart, even vinegary, fruitiness and yeasts gradually yields to a quiet flow of dryish mouthfeel of roastiness and nuttiness, with an earthy edge of hop bitterness; pretty neutrally-flavoured in the aftertaste, though the finish is true to an Irish Stout: quite dry, that is.
M&D: the texture is very decent, full of soft carbonation, and the body is not too thin, either; but I think the bottle-conditioning process has gone wrong, letting the yeasts spoil the whole bottle of black nectar and turn it into a bowl of prune-tea This brewery needs much more effort on bottle-conditioning, IMO. For what it tastes like, this is NOT an Irish Stout, I'm afraid.
