L- Pours eagerly forming a giant head, so go slowly! Held up to the window the beer is black, the very slowly collapsing head is mid tan and formed of very fine bubbles. Holds up extrememly well, even 15mins later.
S- Different, I got some perfume, I suspected cherry, but then thought it more perfumed like rose-water. Maybe between the two, then in comes some charring and smoke! Different!
T- Different again, a flash of cherry fast over-run by smoke, some rose-water perfume and then a rather errrm (!) burnt-plastic(?) pungency. The latter is unusual, like something, perhaps plastic, has been burnt, it tastes 'chemically', and I don't believe I've had a beer that tastes like this before.
F- Well it's pretty pungent. Probably does feel about it's 5.2% Hard to conclude much else as it's so unlike most other beers I've had that I'm not sure quite what such a style of beer 'should taste like'.
O- The ingredients are listed as 'Barley, yeast, hops + water'. Only now reading the lable - as I don't like lables pre-informing my taste buds before a blind-tasting - I see the lable says: 'chocolatey stout fused with a massive hit of black cherries'. Well who knows, cherries ain't in the ingredients... This beer is something of an enigma, one I shan't be buying again.
BB: 15/04/2021. 500ml bottle.
Bought from BeersOfEurope/UK for home delivery. I added it here as an English Stout, despite the beer being labelled 'Black Forest Stout' as I didn't see anything approaching that in the Styles list, and frankly having lived for some years in Germany have never heard of anything akin to such a style. Irony vs the cherries I assume!
