ninethly

On the first day of Beermas I went and bought for me
A bird dropping beads on the street
Two turtledoves
Three Belgian roosters
Four birds calling for blood
Five rolling blings
Six geese parading
Seven mermaids bird flipping
8 breakfasts steaming
Nine drinkers dancing

Serendipitous, that's what this is!  Looking for something related to dancing and up comes Twist & Stout.  It's even a black beer, hooray!  This comes from Cerveja Musa, and although the label doesn't have a very energetic appearance, it does make you think of music of a certain time.  Music plenty of ladies liked to dance to.

It's one of those dark chocolate brown rather than black stouts, but those can have a lot of complexity.  There's something spicy or peppery in the aroma.  I almost think it's going to be a sweeter stout, but the flavor quickly turns into bitter, baking chocolate.  It's earthy, even a little dusty.  Really not very thick or heavy, though, a very light feeling beer.  For a stout it's remarkably thin.  The flavor is strong, and after a few sips something spicy does start to pop up.  After it settles it thickens up a little, feeling more like a normal stout than it did at first.
