Brown dark pour with tan head. Aroma is funky sour and chocolate. Didn’t expect sour from this but pretty good

On tap at Drakes, pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Chocolate, coffee with wood and vinous tartness in the nose and flavor. Medium full mouthfeel.

On draft at the Barrel House. It pours dark brown with an orangy tan head of foam. The aroma is pleasantly sour with some stone fruit, cocoa and caramel. The flavor is full, rich and smooth on the palate with nice sour notes of lemony lactic acid and sweet cocoa and caramel. It finishes with some mild vinegar, funk and ash. Drakes makes a lot of these sour barrel aged stouts, but this is one of the better ones. Good stuff.
