Bottle - Caramel, nuts and lots of woody notes. Deep murky brown with a light brown head. Soured malts, nutty notes and some wood. Caramel prevails and sourness is mild and a bit disjointed.

Draught at the brewery, test tap
Cloudy dark amber color. Dark malts, not roasty, but caramelly and chocolatey, not blending very well with the mild sourness. Earthy feeling. Light fruity aroma. (6).
It’s not a train wreck, it’s just not a good idea. If they increase the acidity they can sell it under the Bruery label (would still be not good). Messy.
The second impression is better.

Draft at the brewery. Light brown colour. Mild aroma showing a touch of sourness. The flavour is a little sour, too, not a lot. The malts are fairly mellow, so the overall presentation is a tart, slightly dirty brown ale, as opposed to anything intensely soured or Belgian in nature.

On tap at Steel & Oak, pours an opaque maroon with a small beige head. Aroma is very strange, with red stone fruits and bready malt. Flavour is just bizarre, with toasted chestnuts upfront, some skunky herbal notes, and maybe a touch of the sourness. Not a typical sour brown by any means. Not bad, but something seems off here. Needs work.
