Ruddy brown and some black, looked like cherry coke as much as beer, not the strong suit going on her. Flimsy head. Smell was cold medicine cherry. Nothing tart.
Taste was barely sour, comes off more like an accidental batch more than something intentional. Lacked carbonation. This beer couldn't make up its mind where it was trying to go, be a wild ale, be an imperial stout, did neither one too good.

Poured out a still muddled mix of black and brown with like, absolutely nothing approaching something constituting 'head' to the naked eye (.0001"). Smell was cherry, cherry cough syrup, red wine. Not really tart.
The taste was minorly sour, the cherry flavor got better, but the lack of any carbonation in the beer really gave it a dead weight feeling, but, on the positive side, hid the alcohol in a major way. I couldn't believe this was 11%. For having lacto and brett, it just didn't tart up, or it was swallowed by the rest of the beer.
For kind of middling out ratings and experience wise, I think this beer does have great upside. Its cherry flavor is respectable, its ability to hide the alcohol is amazing, and really, something as simple as some bubbles and added sourness could really make this beer something special.
Drank at Triple Rock for Sour Sunday.
