UPDATED: FEB 4, 2010 Tap @ Bailey’s Taproom... I guess this was a version of their standard Coffee Girl Stout which had gotten accidentally infected with a high bacteria yeast. Poured black with a huge, tan head. Aroma of soured milk mixed with coffee. The sour actually complemented the coffee very nicely with the high bacteria yeast lending towards a yogurt-like dairy flavor while the coffee balanced it with a roasted bitterness. Not necessarily puckering, but a good acidic tanginess. Who says you can’t let your mistakes work for you?
