375ml corked and caged bottle - probably one of the more subtly sour sour ales I’ve had in a while, which I have honestly missed - subtle tartness, acid, and tannic qualities up front make way for chocolate, vanilla, oak, cherry - sweet through the middle, and lightly warming, followed by a resurgence of drier tannic notes and lightly warming whiskey followed by a mild funk - dry, oaky finish - every once in a while New Belgium releases something that shows me they still have it.
