Split a 750ml bottle at B Side in Virginia. Poured a clear ruby color with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma was light sour cherries, woody, bourbon notes. Light vanilla, some funk. Flavor was funky notes, sour, tart cherries. Barrel aging creates a smooth beer. Perhaps not the best attempt at a sour beer, but subtle enough to be pretty enjoyable.
