Sample from firkin at the 6th Annual Rogue Firkin Fest at Green Dragon. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium thick and fluffy off-white head that dissipates slowly. Patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt and rye bread. Light to medium body with flavors of grainy malt, fruit and a bit of spiced hops. The finish is malty with a toasty aftertaste. Decent overall.

A murkey dark amber sour with a thin lacing light moka head. In aroma, a smooth woodsy cherry lactic mix, nice and balanced. In mouth, harsher than expected, corky, sustained bilous notes, maybe too young. On tap at Oregon’s Brewers Fest, July 29 2011.
