A: Pours black in color with an off-white head that fades quickly
S: Buckets of dark roasted malt with a mild to moderate acidity. A bit of fireplace like smells coming in as well.
T: Very dark and roasted malty, Lots of acidity the taste of the fireplace coming in as well.
M: Medium bodied, medium carb.
O: Drain pour. Way to much ash and char flavor for me. Black and Tar like. Although not a huge RIS fan this one was over the top for me.
Serving type: bottle
A: Very clumpy and thick head, leaving sticky lacing. Pretty standard for the style. Beer is more orange than pale yellow.
S: Aroma is tart, funky, citrusy and a touch of dirt. Definitely noticeable Brettanomyces, not too many Belgian qualities coming though.
T: Funky more than citrusy, almost moldy cheese in flavor. Has a bit of sweetness towards the end, but this one definitely leaves a Brett flavor in your mouth.
M: Thin and low carbonation, has a creamy mouth feel that just fades into funk quickly. Not overly enjoyable.
O: Not great. This makes the 4th or 5th mediocre beer from Mikkeller. I will stick to Draft Bear from them.
Serving type: bottle
