Nose loads of raspberry, dark chocolate syrup, light funk, toasted malt, fudgcicle, so much choc raspberry

Taste mild funk Brett, big juicy tart raspberry, fair sourness, loads of dark chocolate, chocolates fudge, toasted grain caramel, little acidity, sticky flemmy finish

Mouth is med to fuller bod, medium light carb, mild flemmy fair acidity

Overall pretty interesting, nice fun beer

Thanks to Francois for sharing this bottle.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy murky garnet with a thin wispy head.

S - Big aromas of super acidic raspberry and flashes of whiskey.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of slightly sweet super tart raspberry juice and loads of light whiskey barrel.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, crisp, tons of tartness on the finish.

O - Overall this was a very solid sour ale. Great raspberry notes!

375 ml bottle into a tulip glass. Batch 6, bottled 7/2015, had 7/2/16.

Pours near black, opaque. Big head on a hard pour, three fingers, lots of foamy lacing. The smell is sour, tart, cherries, malt, lime, raspberries, whiskey, rye, chocolate, some vanilla, a light spiciness. The taste is a little more malt driven, then cherries, whiskey, oak, vanilla, less raspberries than the nose, more chocolate than the nose, and more as it warms. Smooth, solid body, well carbonated, the taste certainly lingers.

Just a great beer, the flavor and aroma are excellent. Aroma is far more sour than it tastes. Well worth a purchase.

 

 

On Draft at Crooked Stave tap room. Beautiful dark brown color, complimented by dark fruit and vanilla initially on the nose. Taste follows the nose, with a quality mouthfeel.

 

 

 

Such an interesting beer. Dark Brown pour, khaki head that dissipated after several minutes. Nose was whiskey, vanilla for me. First taste was dark fruit. Plums, a bit of prune,typical dark sour notes and a bit of vanilla, oak and whiskey. This one is definitely a sipper to be enjoyed, well done beer. Poured from draft at the release.

Had on tap at the brewery on release day 08/05/2015. it has a nice deep reddish brown color that's quite opaque. The nose contains whiskey, oak, vanilla and funk. The body has some dark fruit like plums mixed with some molasses and it has a tart characteristic. The beer finishes dry and it gets drier the more you sip it. This a is a really good beer.
