Being born from a culmination of three unique mixed culture sours in oak for over two years makes this sour brown ale inimitable. Exuding notes of cola, dried fruit, and grape preserves; one can expect a dry and tart finish. As a brand, we recognize the importance of mental health. Please prioritize yourself and your loved ones and enjoy this beer in the fellowship with others.

Purchased at the brewery in a 750ml bottle. 2023 release.
There was a slight hiss and a bit of smoke upon opening. This beer is pretty dark looking in my glass. It is a nice amber color when I hold it to the light. The beer looks clear when I hold it to the light. There's just a 1 finger tan head to the beer, and I was pouring it slightly aggressively. The head has decent retention, but leaves no lacing on the glass.
The funk hits me while pouring. This just smells quite wild. Up close I am just getting a wild funky tart cherry aroma. Funky, earthy, wild smelling.
The tartness hits right away, but, at the same time it is somewhat mild up front. I do get some oak and vanilla notes from the barrels used to age the beer that are a forward flavor profile. Hints of caramel do show up in the mix. There's a huge earthy hit to the flavor. The tartness of the beer does build to a pleasing finish.
Full bodied. Tartness feeling lingers and clings. The beer is easy to drink, but, at the same time, it tells me to slow down. Sticky, clingy, syrupy feeling.
Wow, this is one hell of an impressive beer. I'd gladly buy another bottle of this.
