Nice spice and tang in taste here. Pours black with some creamy head and average carbonation. Aroma has booze, chocolate and nut. Sweet and bitter taste but mostly bitter. On tap at Hopcat.

Draft at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Deep brown-black body, thin medium ochre head. Tannic nose with chocolate, roast, and coffee bean. Same notes in body, chocolate and coffee backed by oak and alcohol, slightly tart, and very tannic with lots of sugars. Inky and rich, but a tad rough.

Draft at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Cloudy, dull straw orange-brown body, no head. Sour, grassy nose with light fruit juice. Same in the body, sour, crackery, and a tad sulfuric. The kiwi is subtle.

THE Fruit Sour tasting. One of those rare beers that were barrel aged on barrels previously used hold beer! Cloudy brown beer, little pale tan head. Palate is light, airy and semi dry. Smooth bourbon in a crisp vinegary dark fruit backdrop. A little acid. Not too much. Semi dry finish. All right.

Bottle at The Fruit Sour Tasting, London - many thanks to Ken. Pours muddy brown with a light, filmy head. Berry aroma with salted meat. Medium sweet flavor, some dark berries, light meat, light earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Light warmth to finish with jammy berries and good, sturdy tartness. Nice beer.

Bottle thanks to Ken at THE fruit sour tasting. It pours deep mahogany brown with a thin beige head. The nose is wood, oak, vanilla, meat and toasted coconut. The taste is up-front sourness, lemon, grapefruit, vanilla, light banana, lacto, over-ripe plum, prune, fairly acidic, faint wood, bourbon and earth with a tangy wood finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good balance. Interesting stuff.

Growler shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a hazy pale gold with a white head that starts and remains at the edges. Aroma has a good amount of brett with a bit of sourness an a nice wheat note. Flavor has a nice light tartness with some sweet grains and a bit of light fruit.
