Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKiney, TX. Pours a dark brown with ruby hues. Aroma of some chocolate and dark roast, and vinegar???? Flavor is somewhat a tangy bitter, too much sour tang, faint chocolate at the end with slight dark roast. Mouthfeel is light-med. with med-high carbonation...Overall, something is wrong with this....not enjoyable....The worst porter I have had..

Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours dark brown. Aromas off, almost vinegarish. Taste not a whole lot better. Very muddled chocolate and malts. Not good.

Bottle... Clear, very dark beer (copper when held up to bright light) with a mid-sized khaki head. Good retention. The aroma is sort of lactic and funky with some roastiness; I think I smell a bug. Medium-bodied with average carbonation. Lactic acid in the tart, Flemish flavor. Some bitterness and roastiness; very little sweetness. Crisp, tangy finish.

Thanks for sharing Mark: Ummm.... if there was ever a market for sour chocolate, this beer would corner it.

Black colored, moderate sized tan head with some lace and retention. Aroma is sweet chocolate, some caramel, light hops. Lighter bodied, fairly sweet with a little bit of roasted character.
