Draught at the brewery, 5/27/17.
Dark mahogany, undetermined clarity (probably high) with deep magenta tints and a thin, dark beige head of low retention.
Grape and plum-like character from the interplay of wood, specialty malt and bacteria. But it’s not an acetic bomb, despite being properly acetic-forward, as the style dictates. Light vanilla, oak, raisin and a touch of chocolate on the very end with no alcohol and a pretty good "mildness" to it. Obviously this isn’t a very mild style, but for a sour brown, it’s not domineered by heavy acetic or lactic acid.
Sour, dry yet with enough base malt and a pinch of residual sugar to mostly balance. Grape, plum, raisin and wood all work well together as light toffee, cola and vanilla linger on the finish. Some gentle sweetness lingers lightly, as well, presenting a good juxtaposition of sweet and sour, as the style often calls for. Carbonation is low but engaging and the texture ranges from lightly softly malty to more tannic/woody. Alcohol not apparent, no flaw.

Draught at the brewery, 5/27/17.
Fairly clear, mahogany-auburn with a small, dark beige head atop showing moderate retention.
Really wild nose (no pun intended) showcases a mix of acetic acid, blueberry juice, strong oak, vanilla and toffee. I usually like to write about how the elements fit together, rather than just listing off what I noted, which anyone can do. But with this one, my friend and I were just baffled and I’m not sure how it fits together (I don’t think it does). Really just a kitchen sink beer with some rich oak and vanilla intensifying the acetic character while the juicy fruits seem to sharpen things, as well. So just too intense and unfocused overall, though maybe with more time it would mellow out.
Very fruity, but yet full of light roast, lots of toasted malt, caramel, mild oxidation and plum-meets-blueberry roundness that is quickly escorted off the premise by sharp acetic acid and more sweet oaky vanilla character. Slippery, somewhat loose texture with low, moderately engaging carbonation. It’s not too sweet/syrupy, at least, and it’s not boozy but again the fruit, acetic acid and old ale portions all pull the beer in different directions. Very interesting at least, but also rather confusing.
