Pours a ruby-cola colour and smells like what it is--a kettle-soured porter. Cocoa, roasty notes, big malt, but with a distinct fruity, candied tartness (sour cherries? sour berries?). It's something of a surreal experience, tasting eerily similar to its namesake, as though someone dropped a handful of Sour Patch Kids into a fairly straight-ahead porter (and the brewery was playing up the pairing, offering free Sour Patch Kids at their booth). Reminds me, if only fleetingly, of a Rodenbach.

I like it, but a pint is a bit much, and I'm not sure how well it's going to play in the local market.
