Definitely a different beer. Smells of chocolate, tastes like baking chocolate without the sugar. Definitely sour

Served on-tap at Al's of Hampden.
A - Pours murky brown with a small half finger tall white head, quickly dissipating down to a small ring around the edge, leaving
S - Smell is all over the place. Cocoa nibs and then lactic sourness. Cane sugar and then mild musty funk. Dark fruits and then some rubber glove. Not sure about this one already.
T - Starts off with a nice sweet chocolate note that is quickly enveloped by the strong tart sour and musty funk notes. Some dark fruitiness brings up the rear. Finish is a touch sweet with plenty of dryness, lingering long after the finish.
M - Medium body with moderate carbonation. Sweet, tart feel from start to finish.
O - I guess this one is ok for what it turned out to be. Definitely tastes like an infected stout so be prepared. Glad I only got a small pour of this one.
