This definitely went sour but honestly, it wasn't terrible.

Review of the 2015 vintage. There is very little to like about this beer. First, the appearance was atrocious, muddy hazy brown with zero carbonation and no head to speak of, looks like a cup of loose leaf tea. Aroma was the only aspect that wasn't completely repulsive, it had decent, if not overbearing, notes of vanilla but also a big boozy component. Taste was truly perplexing, I thought I had accidentally picked up some bourbon barrel/sour experiment; I really don't think this was their intent but somewhere along the line this thing got infected with Brett or something because there is very apparent and unpleasant barrel funk. The only components I tasted were alcohol and a slight vanilla finish, all with a massive sour, earthy/composty overtone. The feel was very thick, looked almost syrupy as I poured it down the drain. Blue Pants continues to miss the mark on consistency, I had a pretty good bottle of imperial stout recently and then wound up with this swill. I really cannot believe they let this batch make it to bottles.

Got on tap at Below the Radar.
L - Hazy dark brown. Absolutely no head at all.
S- sweet smelling with lots of alcohol.
T - this beer tastes horrible. All you really taste is alcohol. This might as well be a liquor. Lots of alcohol and no carbonation at all.
F - thick and syrupy.
Overall - this beer is so poorly done. No carbonation, and all you can really taste is alcohol and syrup. One of the worst craft beers I have ever had.
