On-tap at Beachwood BBQ,

A: Pours black with a frothy white head, big lace.

S: Cherry Sweet tarts, dark chocolate, a tad artificial, but something to pique my interest.

T: Cherry dominated, Sweet Tarts, again has an artificial candy-like feel, but has an enjoyable overall acidity.

M: Very soft carbonation, medium-bodied, doesn't feel like 9.7%.

D: An odd beer, like nothing I've ever had before, so I guess it's worth a try for that.

On-tap at Stone Sour Fest

Not exactly sure why this was at Sour Fest. Probably because it has the words "sour cherry" in the title, but from a bit of digging, this just seems to be a regular stout with cherries in it (that happen to be sour).

A: The pour is quite nice to look at: dark, dark brown (bordering on black) with a nice tan head on it.

S: There are certainly some sour cherry notes, but overall, it is more towards the bourbon and the oak--which are very prominent. A bit of chocolate and vanilla as well.

T: The oak is very upfront and there is quite a bit of chocolate, vanilla, and cherry as well. All nice flavors, in fact. Perhaps a bit sharp, with some alcohol bite, however.

M: Somewhat light in body, but not really thin, either. Sort of dry and sharp in terms of carbonation.

D: One of the beers I actually liked more at this year's Sour Fest. Perhaps not totally within the theme, but a nice beer.
