Pours a small head and a dark-as-night body.

Has a rather aggressive bitter smell, especially for a stout. There's some coffee and dried fruit here, but for the most part the nose is defined by what I can best describe as tar. Curious smell, but not necessarily something I'm excited about.

Taste is similar to smell, but slightly less restrained, which is probably a good thing. There is not much balance besides some bitter malts, but it's fine I suppose. Mouthfeel is solid.

There are some beers that I appreciate because I like where they are going, even if they miss the mark. I just don't know what Eternal Darkness was aiming for. Which, to be fair, may be completely the fault of my own palate.

Very dark brown, pour is unremarkable but nothing bad. Medium head thins out quickly. Boozy imperial stout, dank hops. For this style / ABV just a hair thin for me, but perfectly drinkable and enjoyable.
