Bottle at 508. Pours a deep ruby brown with a medium sized white to beige head. Sweet roast, soft cocoa, fruity malt and a touch of paper and some light acid. Sweet fruit, oxidization, gentle tart acid, musk and faint funk. Gets a bit heavy on the musty paper, nice mouthfeel but the flavors seem a bit off.

UPDATED: SEP 16, 2012 Bottle. Black with brown head. Nose and taste of soured oak, dark fruit, cocoa and dried grape. Moderate tartness. Medium body.

Bottle split with streets at the brewpub. Pouts a deeP be body with light carbonated lacing. Aroma is light funk, sour fruit and fruit malts. Mouthfeel is medium to thin with notes of dry fruit, light stale funk. Eh.

Had bottle with dinner on Friday. Pours a reddish brown (I believe although the restaurant is very dark). Nose is semi fruity and funky. tastes of berry tartness, slight cough syrup, leather, wood, red wine and yeast. pleasant brew

Bottle at the brewpub. Pours amber brown with a beige head. Blackberry fruity aroma, with light funky yeast, a hint of malty sweetness, and toasted malts. The flavor has a dark fruity tartness, light funky yeast, and bready toasty notes. Good balance of sweetness and sourness.
