A soured cherry porter, tried from a bottle at Penny Blue during their Sourfest evening during GBW2013.
Pours a deep, black-cherry colour, with a hint of deep, bloody red. Head is full and deeply pink. Body is very light and soft and there's almost no carbonation visible. No lacing either. Love the colour, though.
Cherries on the nose with a slight hint of weird, off-kilter smashed cocoa nibs. Some grassy characters come through as does a little rounded, flattened tropical fruit. Sour milk chocolate. It's a bit light, but it's certainly interesting.
Taste is surprisingly rather clean and smooth. Some pithy characters through the centre of the palate and a little cherry skin on the back. There's a hint of acidity to it, but it's all very mellow and smooth: there's not a touch of sharpness to the sour character. There's also not a touch of roast to it, apart from the slight chocolate and cocoa tones in the aroma. On the palate, there's no chocolate at all: not much hint of the porter.
Overall, it's a bit watery and thin, and the lack of any semblance of porter past the aroma is a little disappointing. But the cleanness is quite pleasant, and the mild acid is restrained and interesting. It's pretty decent all up.
