Dark black body, no head. The nose imparts the wood and sour acidic notes, which are delivered in the taste. Bright acidity in the open, a strong wood-barrel hit in the middle, and a lingering bite for a close.

This one is quite interesting. Pours black, and it's a thick oily black at that. Looks intense.
It's aroma is mostly comprised of roasted malts as I would expect a stout to be, but also has a fruity turn to it.
The sour flavor hits you up front. A juicy, tart, almost off-putting sour. I never really get to the point that I like or enjoy the sour turn, which begins to clear away by roasted dark malts in the finishing flavor. The roastiness and stoutiness of the beer never really quite kill that tart/sour flavor, and throughout the beer I continually find myself wishing that it did.
I guess I just like my stouts "unsoured". I'd save the sour for ipa's, gose, and lighter bodied beers. However, I do give them points for creativity and courage with this one.
