Draft at the brewery the other day. From notes. Pours black with a thin tan head. Dark sour fruit aroma. Dusty dark fruit and red grape flavor. Slightly sour stout here, but it’s not nearly the main feature. Seems a lot more like a porter than a stout. Not sure about that. A lot more tart that I would have expected. Overall, a bit of a strange beer, but not bad.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Black color. Dark ale, but not roasty or ashy, hence the vinous character blends well, with light fruitiness and acidity, a bit woody. Balanced.
Nice.

On tap at Seattle Winter Beer Festival 2014, pours a deep dark brown / black with a tiny head. Aroma brings out notes of sherry, wood, and chalky wood. Flavour is very chalky, with notes of sherry and chalk. Not very cohesive, with some lingering tartness that's rather unpleasant. Not overly pleasant but not a disaster.

Draft - Sweet barrel and Berry notes with some soured malts and dark roast. Deep jet brown with a nice creamy light brown head. Light soured malts, some light Berry notes. Not a winner here, soured and tastes off.
