Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: black in color with a quickly dissipating foamy to fizzy head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, black coffee with some light notes of dark fruits and then a lighter note of some chilis
Flavor: merges the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty character initially and then provides a lighter note of the chili spiciness; finishes roasty and chocolatey with an even lighter dose of the chilis
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe closer to medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; the chilis seem pretty tame throughout consumption and really don't lend much aggression as I thought they would have
Overall: seemed more like a lighter bodied stout with chilis in it than a wild/sour ale but hey, what do I know. I'd still have this again and hopefully Urban Family beefed up that body to be more of a bigger stout-ish like beer to equate to the ABV they said this beer is supposed to be.

4 oz draft taster glass at Harry’s Tavern (attached to Lukas Liquor) in Martin City, Missouri. The pour is a mostly clear golden yellow with a foamy white head. The aroma is citrus orange along with a bit of sweetness. The taste is the orange fruit, tart and soft bitterness. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and a lingering orange peel bitterness. Solid.

Draft 12 oz pour at Urban Family. A dense orange pour with a galaxy fizz head. Aroma is a large array of fruit, with sour promise. Flavor is juicy, mixed orange fruit, though a little watered down like. Mellow carb, but remains a nice level of sour throughout. A sour with some unique character to it. A nice and refreshing hoppiness that surly provides some of the fruit notes. Tangerine and peach specific. Sourness a 6/10. Solid.

On tap at Urban Family, pours a near-black with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out a nice mix of oats, light chills and cocoa. Flavour is dry, with lots of oats at the heart, with subtle accentuations of cocoa and chilis, though the adjuncts aren't very pronounced. Fairly flat palate, though the body is medium. Nice stuff.
