375 fliptop from Wine & Cheese. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Or tan. Aroma of chocolate, rum and mild acetic notes. Med minus body. Flavor is acetone, rum, chocolate and malt. There’s something like vinegar floating in the "air". I’m not finding it extremely acetic. Seems like I’ve had BFMs with more acidity. It’s not likely good for tooth enamel, but it’s not muriatic acid. Have no idea what Mc Vin barrel is. Stainless? Sadly it does make me think a bit of paint remover, but again I think I’ve had BFMs with stronger flavor of that sort. Finally it bottoms out to what is for me a earthy chocolate, tho the paint remover aspect does not go away. I’m drinking it a bit faster than my normal, and that’s probably because of the acidity in the mouth. Ah well. It’s a heavy, a bit beyond sour, ale. But it’s not a drain pour. Think of it as a training exercise. Pain only makes us stronger. I am at 6s and 7s about the rating numbers. This ale has some good aspects, and a palate challenge seems to me to allow for a decent number there.

Tastes more like a flanders red than an eisbock but not sure if thats just the menu getting it wrong. Dark brown pour with ok head. Sour plum and some citrus. Some raspberries. Some nail polish vibe and booze. Low carbonation. Some light wine. Tap at pizza paradiso dupont.

Draught at Proletariat, New York. Pours dark brown with a little tan head. Aroma of strawberries, chcholate, petrol and red wine. Sour taste like an oud bruine, odd.

Draft at Churchkey. Dark clear brown color, bright tan head. Boozy port wine aroma. Taste is harsh sour plums and prunes, acetic finish.
