375 ml bottle, 2012 batch. Pours dark brown with a medium creamy brown head that quickly goes to a thin film that laces the glass.
The aroma is sugary malts with sweet tart sourness and vinous alcohol. It's a bit subdued.
The flavor is sweet and tart fruity sourness with vinous alcohol and a touch of roast in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with soft carbonation.
Overall, a nice sour. It's a a little on the sweet side.

Bottle: Poured a light black color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and some light lacing. Aroma of tart notes with some funky yeast notes and light dry roasted malt. Taste is also dominated by tart notes with some acidity and dry roasted malt notes. Brandy notes are pretty tame and hard to distinguish. Body is light with medium carbonation. Not bad overall but I can’t say that sour porter is a style that I really seek.

Nice hiss when opened, but pours little in the way of head. Pitch black liquid, but not viscous thick. Smells brettanomyces 'horseblanket', raw oak, acetic acid, vanilla, coconut. Cherry pits, mild chocolate.
Taste is mostly acetic acid. Drying, mild dark roast, notable oak - though I don't get much in the way of brandy. Dried out mealy meat of a cherry.
Medium-nice carbaonation works with the acidic. Light in thickness with drying astringency and a finishing summer pucker.
