A - Dark brown, almost black colour with mahogony tinges when held up to light.
S - Some dark malt aromas but quite a strong savoury, slightly sourness overpowers.
T - Like the smell the sour & savoury comes through on the taste with only a bit of chocolate flavour coming through.
M - Quite flat and thin.
D - Something has gone wrong with this beer. I don't know if it's an infection or just their in house yeast strain but yeah, it's not good.
This beer probably scores higher than what it should because at least they are trying to do something different.

nearly black in color with some light showing a dark mahogony tinge. a rough pour forms only the slightest head which disappears quikly. the coke like carbonation leaves a beer that doesnt set high expectations.
difficult to pick the aroma. leaning more towards sweet malt than anything hoppy. some odd chemical type smell too.
taste follows the trend. has chemical aspects to it and a sugary soda like aftertaste. slick mouthfel. doubt i would look for this again any time soon. a bit disappointing.
