Dark with a beige head. Aroma is malty, sweet ripe fruit, light roasted malt. Full bodied. Flavor has a definite ripened fruit note, sweet malts, roasted malts. It’s not so bad.

Bottle from a trade with jmikolich. Pours dark brown color with tan head. Roasted malt aroma with some cocoa. Ashy, roasted malt flavor with some sweet cocoa. Medium body with soft carbonation. Thanks Jim.

This beer pours black with a thin off-white head that disappears quickly. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruit and roasted malt. Medium body with flavors of tart fruit, light malt and leather. The finish is acidic fruits and malt, with a somewhat sour aftertaste. I can’t imagine this is deliberate due to open fermentation, so I have to assume this bottle has not held up. Not very good overall.

First impression of smell when I pop the lid of this 12 oz bottle is that it comes across like a funky old leather shoe. There was barely any pressure in the bottle under the lid too. No vivble CO2 in the brew when poured into the glass. Black as old shovelhead oil. Charcoal and burned wood come thru to the olfactory in the glass. Initial taste isw forwrd with sour and tart notes. Weirdly interesting, like a wreck I cannot stop sipping this stuff. Yummy and sour continues but the tartness is never over the top, just enough to peak my interest with each glug. Pleasant dark beer attributes lurk behind the scene, making it friendly and even more interesting. Easy tart fun with barely any carbonation. Really like this sour beer experience. Nice funky beer and finish.

Bottle. Pours an ominous dark brown with almost no head or carbonation and aromas of leather, landfill and soy. Flavor is all wrong... sour nasty with little redeeming. Something is seriously wrong with these guys... I’d say it’s intentional, but this spoiled beer thing isn’t good, so I doubt it.
