Draft. Blackish beer with a tan head. Whiskey and rich malt/caramel aroma with light chocolate. Whiskey and light chocolate flavor with light malt. Medium bodied. Whiskey and chocolate malt lingers.

22oz bottle. Rating #36. Very murky and dark black with a tan head. Big vineous aroma, light chocolate and a little tart. Flavor is nice, mild oak and a little more chocolate and a bit of wine. Mild aftertaste and very pleasant. (2083)

Bomber. Poured medium-deep brown with a tight-bubbled yellowy-beige head that settled down to a fine film rather quickly. The aroma picked up a whole bunch of red wine first and foremost.. sweeter cocoa, vanilla, and more grapes beneath.. aged oak and vanilla accented.. this came together very well. The flavor opened with tangy vinous notes and cherries, with sweet cocoa, molasses, and red wine behind.. cocoa gave a hit of bitterness on the edges, fruit skins and oak gave a bit of sourness, and alcohol provided some black pepper.. the warm, very winey finish worked great with the malt bill.. very tasty stuff! Medium-bodied and slick through the palate.. quite a bit of sourness from the barrel, but it really did work.. very dry with high carbonation.. not the greatest flow, but it was an excellent brew.

Bottle… Tower of Power Sour Hour 2011… Murky, ruddy brown ale with a small, creamy, khaki head. The bouquet is very vinous and woody, offering additional notes of cocoa, caramel and red wine vinegar. Full-bodied with lively carbonation. This baby is chocolaty, nutty and delightfully tart - accompanied by modest yeasty bitterness. Finishes tangy, roasty and mildly bitter. The high level of alcohol is nearly imperceptible. Bottle courtesy of wavers1!

22oz bottle from Whole Foods in Portland. Pours thick and black with a thin off white head. Tart red wine, roasted grain and tart cherry aroma. Taste is chocolate malt, tart red wine and cherries with a touch of sourness. Just ok.

A very very sweet aroma. Tons of sour. Some thick notes, but also extremely sour. The wine I think is the culprit...I hope. Otherwise, this deserves a much lower score. Not for me.
