First Impression
Scary. Ominous eyes peer out from the upper third of the label. "absinthe natural flavour" WTF?! Doesn't absinthe make you go blind or something?

First Sip
Looks truly like a stout and smells deliciously of rich dark malts... but with an unmistakeable underlying quality that I can only presume is the call of the absinthe. Delicious!

Halfway
Awesome. Bold, black, beautiful beverage.

Bottoms Up
This beer is a hardcore delight. Stouts can be smooth and easygoing or savage flavour bombs enjoying nothing more than to eviscerate your expectations and reawaken your sense of what "possible" means. Ghosttown falls very much in the latter camp. I love it. And I can still see!
