Black Forest

Ok... so looking back on this, this was probably a huge mistake. There is this drink known as a "Black Forest" which usually entails mixing a dark chocolate stout (most of the time Young's or Brooklyn) with a sweet lambic. Let me repeat that, a sweet lambic. We had the genius idea that since we were tasting one of the best stouts and one of the best lambics ever we might as well mix them to see what happens. Oh boy.

The appearance of this monstrosity is just like hunaphu - dark with a decent sized head. The aroma is pretty much what I expected seeing as we are mixing a coffee imperial stout with a sour lambic - sour coffee and sour chocolate, not too bad but not very appetizing. The taste is very sour at first and then leads into a strange sour vanilla and chocolate finish. I didn't die, but I probably wouldn't recommend trying this (even if you can find these two brews).

Appearance - 4.0
Smell - 3.8
Taste - 3.5
Texture - 3.6
Overall - 3.73/5
