Courtesy SoLan. Extremely dark amber pour, thin soapy white head. Fantastic aroma - Brett and cherries at first, then as it warms, fresh cut oak. No real defined stout characters, save for a slight roast mixed in with the cherries. The finish contains some remarkable vinous character and combines smoothly with a mild tartness that has just enough edge to it. A great, unique sour. Props, Alan.

Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp with a tart finish. Flavors of sour cherry, chocolate, carmel, light smoke and light vanilla with a crisp lingering tart finish.

Nov 21, 2008 (draught - ’08 Barrel-Aged Fest @ the Bistro, Hayward, CA) Very dark w/ frothy tan head. Sour cherry, funk, wood and bittersweet chocolate nose. Surprisingly medium body w/ astringent fruity sourness followed by smokey, dark roasted coffee. Nice alcohol warmth throughout. Lingering sour funk and toasted malt, dry finish.
