Aroma of sour cherries, red wine, roasted malt, red fruits, prunes, chocolate, light funk, Brett, hint of Bourbon, oak, vinegar. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate to medium sour. Complex and delicious.

Bottle. Almost black, opague. Roast, citrus and leather in the aroma and flavor. A pleasant sourness next to the malty roasty sweetness. Melon, mango, peppermint. Full bodied. Weird but good!

12oz bottle at Churchkey, pours a dark, cola brown with some ringing off white head. Nose is a bit odd, malt, earth... honestly some mud, dry cocoa powder, some lactic acid notes. Flavor is a little better, more clearly vinous and grapey, malt, sour cola, old barrel here, sherry. Finishes full bodied, tart.

Bottle. Pours clear black, no head, no lacing. Aroma is vinous, lactic, bourbon, funk, basement, cocoa. Flavor is light plus tart, initial acetone notes fade with breathing, very vinous, oaky, roast, cocoa, red wine, bourbon. Medium body, zero carbonation. Not bad in the end, but I can’t really get into this.

Bottled 11-11-2014. Sour, thick, muddy and pitch black. Brett did its job nicely, barrel adds another layer. A Molen like Molen does best.

Bit of a misnomer more of a sour than it is an Imperial Stout and so I downgraded it for that. In fact much more of a shower. I pick up just a little bit of stout characteristics let alone Imperial Stout. It’s not a bad beer but I wanted an Imperial Stout and this isn’t it. For a sour it’s okay.
