Big chocolate roast malt paired with lush black cherry and soft acidity. We kettle-sour a portion of the mash to lend a slight tartness on the finish. Listen to the Lunatic.

Draft. Hazy brown color, small tan head. Aroma of very roasty cocoa and chocolate. Taste is softly sour coffee. Maybe should be classified as a sour?

Tap at Churchkey during Craft Brewers Conference. Poured a dark brown, almost black color with a tan head. Aroma was some light tart notes, with some sweet and roast malt notes. Flavor was some dark fruits, tartness, some chocolate in there. Not bad.

Draft at Taps 25, Lansing. Deep garnet body, thin tan head. Nose of molasses and chocolate; tart with woody undertones. The body is tart with leathery dark fruits, molasses, roast, chocolate wafers, and cocoa powder. Rather modest sour notes. Medium-bodied, somewhat sweet. Messy but interesting.
