A fruited sour porter? Say what? On tap at Beertown Burlington on Fairweather takeover day. Review from notes.

Appearance - Very dark chestnut brown, near black. Small finger of off tan head that recedes rather quickly.

Smell - Huge notes of sour cherry and raspberry, chocolate powder abounds as well. Incredibly robust nose, one of the best smelling beers I've had in a long time.

Taste - Rather like the nose, lots of tart fruit up front, hints of chocolate in the background, but make no mistake this is a sour first. Rather intensely flavored for a 4.5% ABV brew.

Mouthfeel - Medium-lkight bodied, modest carbonation and little bit mouth puckeringly dry on the finish.

Overall - One of the most interesting beers I've tried this year, a sour lactose porter that actually works isn't something expected, but certainly an enjoyable tipple.
