From a 500ml bottle into a snifter
IBU: 90
Bottle 282 of 412
Vintage 2019
Stout aged in Rum Barrels for 12 months
APPEARANCE: Pours out clear dark brown and yields a 3 finger, looser, foamy, light tan head with okay retention. Head slowly crackles down to a foamy cap and leaves some foamy lacing on the glass. Clear black body with higher levels of carbonation evident. An attractive splotchy wisp remained until I poured it down the drain.
SMELL: Definitely sour. Tart cherries and lemon with some funky wild yeast aromas. Luckily infected stouts smell better than they taste, but this is definitely horrifically bad.
TASTE: Metallic, tart and cardboard flavors up front. Definitely infected, and not in a pleasant way. Harsh and abrasive with plenty of acidic sourness after the swallow. Rough going. Reminds me of everything I hate about COVID-19.
PALATE: Foamy, light and over-carbonated. Harsh and puckering with an acidic burn after the swallow.
OVERALL: Sometimes infections work out but there is nothing pleasant about this. I’m rather confident they weren’t going for a soured rum stout here. A real shame. I remember their bourbon barreled version of this being top notch, so that’s a double whammy. Also doesn’t help that the aged base stout that I opened earlier this week was a badly oxidized drain pour. Unfortunately drain gets two doses of Hearts Collide this week. Bummer.
