[1/27/17] Draught at The Rare Barrel in Berkeley. Brown. Great aroma full of sweet chocolate. Sour flavor with fruitiness, lemony, lots of chocolate. Medium-bodied. Good, but a bit weird.

Draft pour at Rare Barrel during the RateBeer Best 2017 bus tour. Dark brown with light beige head. Aromas of cocoa nibs, slight vinegar. Tastes of cocoa nibs, tart berries, light vinegar. Light body with a dry finish. Cacao nibs worked really well in this, nice surprise.
