What about the beer?
Colour is black with a large beige head. Aroma has ash, charcoal and
espresso. Taste begins with heavy ashy-charcoaly and bitter roast. Ashy
and smoky dry malts take over with bitter burned bread flavour. Towards
the end burned malts get espresso and liquorice
tones. Aftertaste has extra dry smoky charcoal roast and bitter coffee.
Heavily ashy, smoky and bitter Porter. Both the roast and the bitterness
go through the roof in this one. The flavour is powerful and intense.
Raw and violent in a good sense. It's clear that this divides drinkers
to lovers and haters. I liked it a lot, but love didn't start easy.

The choice was made between two songs with the same name, one from David Bowie and the other from Faith No More. But it wasn't tough: Bowie's hit from 1980 still didn't hit the spot - Major Tom simply sucks. Instead, Faith No More's Album of the Year gets its second entry to the blog, which is simply great.

From the 1997 album Album of the Year, the song was written by Jon Hudson, Mike Patton, Mike Bordin, Billy Gould and Roddy Bottum.
