bb (2168), Martinez, California, USA Apr 20, 2007 Draft. Blackish beer with a nice off-white/tan head. Light dark malt, tart aroma. Big tart flavor with berry (cherry) fruit and earth. Lingering cherry and tartness. Medium body. Nice. jazz88 (2206), San Francisco, California, USA Apr 19, 2007 Tap @ Toronado 4/18/07. A dark brown to black color but not the typical solid black that one expects in a stout. A malty aroma sits just on top of an immense fruit base. This tasted more like a tame version of La Folie (which was also on tap) with a sour intense fruit flavor but cut with chocolate and roasted malts. Quite nice but also a one trick pony.
