500ml bottle (thx, Peter K.!). Batch #3, 2015. Pours an almost black with a beige head. Aroma is bretts, roasted malt, some fruitiness, and chocolate notes. Taste is sour, bretts, roasted malt. Roasted malt aftertaste. Quite good, but drinking a whole bottle would be very hard.

Bottle I got from the original brewery though first I had to get past a hipster douchebag who was trying to tell me it was sold out even though they had posted it was on sale that day, thankfully someone else was walking by and overheard that guy and said we have a bunch in the walk-in cooler he also told me to wait at least 3 months before drinking it. It is now about 9 months later...
Soft cola brown in color with a cherry/berry aroma. Medium to light bodied with a roasty chocolate flavor that has a tangy/sour accent. Satisfying and it went well with that Rogue Hazelnut cheesecake I picked up at the Hanshin Portland Event.

Bottle: Poured a black color stout with a nice large brown color head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with nice funky Brett notes also observable. Taste is a mix of roasted malt with some funky Brett notes and a dry finish with some vinous and oak notes also noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nice level of complexity while retaining some drinkability.
