Sample at the brewpub. This brew is a brownish-black color with a thin khaki head that dissipates quickly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Vinous aroma with touches of tart fruits and herbs. Rich and smooth body with flavors of dry wine, malt and mildly sour fruit. The finish is dry with the Cabernet flavor lingering past the vanilla and fruit. Interesting overall, bit not something I would go back to repeatedly.

Growler shared by Cliff @ BCTC. Dark brown color. Aroma is dominated by a vinegar oily kind of sourness. Flavor has this thin slick sourness as well. In general my notes just said cheap sourness, not sure exactly what I meant by that at this point. Maybe too much acetone coming through?

Growler shared by kramer @ BCTC’09, he hooked the place up. I liked this a lot, much more so than the other Jackie-Os sour. Color is dark brown, almost black. Has a small tan head. Aroma is strong tart berry sour, a cool chocolate aspect, and a tart light vinegar to round it off. Flavor is a candied sourness with tart berries sprinkled throughout. Has a nice mouthfeel to go along with all of that. I had no idea beforehand that this had raspberries in it but that makes perfect sense with what I tasted.
