Paid about two bucks for this one at the local giant eagle now that I'm reading it it doesn't sound like it would work at all. How can you have a sweet coffee Stout with a hint of bittering citrus? Pour looks deceptive deep dark black a half an inch of mocha froth. Smell again rather deceptive sweet lactose vanilla mild chocolates and just a hint of citrus which I assume like a hop bite. And now going into it I am disappointed hit you with an edge of milkstout semi sweet chocolate and quickly pungent of citrus and lemon zest. It's a very odd mix one that often you wouldn't think would work and then quickly realize it doesn't. I guess somebody in the office thought that those orange chocolate candies would make for a nice substitute of tangerine and orange peel but it just doesn't work in this beer. Overall experimental weird and even though I don't enjoy it I am kind of glad I picked it up.

Not our favorite offering at Cinderlands. Had from the tap, date night. Quite the coffee overtones on the nose and palette, a slight orange zest, but too sweet for our looking.

The beer name might be some kind of pro-carbon, Pennsylvania-savvy, "it's okay that everyone's gonna die in 20 years because that means I can make slightly above minimum wage now" slogan. Yee-haw roll coal motherbitches!
16 ounce can pours very dark with a nice brown head. Uneven carb.
Uneven aroma. Like you're smelling a stout while standing next to a goth chick who's got on too much weird purfume she bought "from a buddhist shop." The stout nodes seem incredibly well-composed, especially by today's meager standards, but the Sour Runts citrusiness is just bizarre against them.
Tastes... tastes like I think I know what they were going for, I think they got what they were going for, and I think what they were going for isn't very good. Not bad. But just weird. Like, damn, I wish a talented brewer could just make a fucking stout in 2018 without economic pressures forcing them to add some moron gimmick to it. A borderline great stout in the front, a nice citrus bouquet in the middle, but the rest of the beer--and especially the aftertaste--is a sorta gross melange of the two utterly incompatible flavors.
Cinderlands are talented brewers and I have notes that I will turn into reviews for some of their other beers, which are much better. Here, it's clear they can brew. But, sadly, it's also clear that the realities of the beer scene in the late twenty-tens are forcing good brewers to do horrible things.

16 oz can
Pours opaque black. Dark tan head is coarse and retains as a sudsy lacing.
Aroma of cocoa, vanilla, and tart orange zest.
Flavor is of coffee, cocoa, orange citrus and zest, and toast.
Medium body, light carbonation.
Interesting and unique flavor mixture. Definitely going to be divisive. Doesn't work for me but worth a try as something different. Some people like the citrus addition to chocolate or coffee and they would probably like this.
