Dark brown. No head. This has a nice balsamicy note, with a deep fruity note. Cherry, some chocolate, touch of coffee. Fun, not necessarily my favourite, because dark sour, but it's good for a dark sour.

375mL bottle, sent from Glouglouburp (thanks a lot, Dany), pours a deep dark mahogany / near-black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of oak, wood, sour dark fruits, and some red wine notes. Flavour brings out subtly tart dark fruits, red grape skins, some vinous (red wine) notes, and loads of oaky wood. Very complex, finishing on notes of dry, lightly soured dark fruit and grape skins, as well as woody vinous notes. Hides the 10% ABV very well. Very enjoyable stuff.

Bottle shared in NH with AJ - thanks a lot! Aged one year. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head. Old, wet wood on the nose with stewed berries as well. Light sweet flavor with big tang, dark berries, light vinegar, more wet wood. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Sour finish, moderately dry, with very tart dark berries and lingering wet wood. Quite dynamic and complex. Very enjoyable.

Bottle shared with Leighton. Enjoyed at 55F in stemware.
A - Pretty dark pour espresso head. Nice lacing
S - Nose is roasted malts and a hint of tootsie roll. Not much sour in the nose. More oak and leather
T - Wow. Very sour. Musty and like a soured porter. Interesting but very sour!
M - Thin and oily mouth feel. nice roasted notes.
O - Not a beer I’d seek out again but pretty drinkable for a sour.
