‘Blatant’ off-center full body whimsically collides rich stout-like ambitions with murky sour fruiting, charred hop acridity and dank cellar-like mustiness. As a result, black patent malting, coffee-stained dark chocolate roast and chalky cocoa powdering take a backseat to burgundy-dried black grape, fig and prune souring, misdirecting the overall indistinct flavor profile. A hint of anise, molasses and cola nut add to the confusion.
