Progressively worse 2008 version, nicknamed ‘db,’ is a limited edition Imperial Stout sham. Disturbing astringency, shrieking metallic twang, and dirty mildewed oiliness override hop-charred stove-burnt coffee frontage. Chalky Baker’s chocolate souring, resinous cocoa bittering, and lulling licorice lapse disrupt coffee bean expectancy. Needs richer molasses penetration, better espresso creaming, cozier hazelnut-walnut backdrop, and more overall depth.
