This beer is greater than the sum of its parts. It almost tastes like a saison through the lens of a stout. Very rich, very floral, not too thick. Overall, the best of Mystery's beers.

16 oz can
pours black, with a massive, way too much head. I had to wait for about 6 inches of head to settle down and pour in about 3 stints. aroma and taste is a bit sharp, acidic. strong roast flavor. medium bodied. too carbonated, but after it settles down, its fine.

Nice dark stout with a quickly fading head. A lemony coffee smell with a strong booze scent that is prevalent. Tastes like it smells. Boozy, coffee and lemony flavors are all over this. It feels a bit light for a stout but only slightly. Only slightly bitter with lingering coffee and lemon flavors. Not a bad brew.

Another wayyyy overcarbonated offering from Mystery. Not very flavorful. Body is right, but a little too much sweetness.

The only reason i'm selecting three is because this is the first brew I got from this brewery and I don't want to give it a bad score over something that can happen.
The first thing I noticed about this brewery is how they cap the beers. Of the three styles my local grocery store had I noticed a circular indentation on the caps and just thought it was odd.
Upon opening the beer I encountered a gusher or infection of the beer.
I decanted the remaining beer into a glass and observed very large carbonation
bubbles and a odd smell but was willing to taste it because i just had goat cheese for a snack and was thinking my "smeller" was off.
And naturally I had to taste it......bluh
I will buy another bottle and try again in hope that the mysterious ring on the cap is just a fluke.
