3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Black color with a thin head. A little lactic acid on the aroma. Sweet malt body with some vanilla. A little sourness that quickly picks up more and more. The spices did not come out at all.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
0.33 l bottle, thanks Sinensis! Sweet tart, solventy and chocolatey aroma with cherries, almond, vanilla. Sweet and tart flavor with leather, sour cherries, woody chocolate, licorice and some barnyard. Plenty of sour berries, cherries and gooseberries. Imperial stout and sour ale, a perverse combination.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Interesting nose, slight alcohol aroma but sweet malty molasses aroma as well. Thin mouth feel with little carbonation, interesting flavors with the vanilla and tea. As it warmed it got sweeter and less delicious.

Bottle from Perry’s Liquors, Livermore. It pours cloudy dark brown, with a thin white film. The nose is dark fruit (raisin, currant etc), roasted malt, meat, caramel, touch of spice and coffee. The taste is mostly dark fruit (prune, date, raisin), as well as tanginess, pepper, roasted malt, filter coffee, wood, vanilla, red wine and some astringency, with a long dry-warming finish. Full body and low-moderate carbonation. Decent.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
EXPLODE! Note to others, this beer can be a touch volatile. Aroma of sour apple, molasses, spices and dark fruits. Pours 100% head so look out. Settles into 50% suds and half deep brown beer. Taste is very complex with floral notes, tobacco, and a nice yeasty funk. Very unexpected.
