Dry roasty aroma with a good deal of tartness and some funk. Light tart cherries are in there as well. Black pour tan bubbles on top. The flavor is very dry and roasty, some bitterness, funky brett is definitely there as is a light hint of tartness in the finish. Underlying cherry flavors are there and add a hint of sweet/tart. Good stuff.

Draft at Strange Brew. Made by the Tacoma Ram. Pours jet black with a dense, creamy, long-lasting tan head. Nice big dry roasty/baking chocolate-y nose with some very faint brett funk showing through. Creamy medium body. Tastes a bit like a dry stout, with a very mild mid-palate and lots of dry notes: roast, campfire, baking chocolate, and then that nutty, slightly acetic brett funk. Sweet finish pokes through at the end. Cherries are so light in this that it makes you wonder whether they’re there mainly to keep the flavor profile from going completely arid. Lovely beer.
