330 ML poured into a wine glass

A-- Poured a dark cola color and settled black. Just a few hints of ruby at the bottom of the glass and at the collar. One finger light brown head that fades to film. Some head retention, half finger, but really the beer looks best with the film. A few spots of lacing but not much.

S-- Light and soft smelling. Mostly roasted malts and some coffee and chocolate.

T-- Roasted malts, soft dairy chocolate, and some roasted coffee with coffee acidity. Thin but not bad.

M-- Light bodied and low carbonation. Thin and watery in the mid and back quite clean though. Finishes with a pretty decent coffee acid finish.

O-- Straightforward stout. nothing flashy about this at all. Nothing really sets this out either. Still true to style and pretty drinkable. Nothing that great though.

Loud pfft as the cap comes off. Thought it might be a gusher, and it did when poured into the glass.lost maybe 10% of the beer as it foamed out of the glass
Huge foamy tan head over a nearly pitch black beer. High carbonation, but the head did finally settle to a decent lace.

A slight sour/acetic smell. May be a mild infection but hasn't taken over completely yet. Still some roasted dark malts in the background.

Not as much sourness in the taste. Decent balance with the malt base being well handled by a bitter finish.

Will have to try this again as I've had it before and it's been good. Unfortunately this one seems a bit off.
