Aldi's Advent Calendar day number 16. Last night was awful. Had to go have a known excellent Stout afterwards to make up for it. Hopefully this one's going to be an improvement although Belgian style dark ale sounds risky. Pours to a very deep brown, not much head and all of it quickly disappears. Excellent aroma of banana nut bread. Enticing. What just happened? Got the briefest hint of banana and then everything went to hell. Burnt, charred wood and leaves. Finish is acidic and metallic. Bad, just bad. Did manage to take several sips in order to describe how these awful flavors tasted. Couldn't do that last night. Still, if you see this beer, don't drink it. Really, don't drink it. Desperately need to pick a promising beer to share with the son-in-law on Duo. These Aldi beers are getting rough.
