22 oz bottle

Clear dark amber brownish color, white head that fades. Aroma is slightly tart, cherry and toffee malt. Taste is fairly sour, but finishes more balanced with some dark malt flavor. Thin to medium bodied.

 

Poured from a 22oz bottle into a tulip glass.

A: The beer is a deep coppery brown color with a thin off-white head that fades quickly and leaves a very thin lace on the glass.

S: The aroma contains tart cherries, rum, caramelized malts and some wild Belgian yeast.

T: The taste starts out sweet with flavors of rum, dark fruit and caramel. Then some mild tart cherry flavor comes in. The malt character is hearty but not too heavy. The hops presence is very mild but complementary and brings a good balance. The after-taste is slightly tart.

M: Crisp and smooth, medium body, medium carbonation, finish is dry and slightly sticky.

O: A little tasty, goes down ok, not too filling, good kick, good representation of style, this is a decent beer to drink for a while if you’re in the mood for the style.

 

In draft at malted barley. I expected more of a sour beer.

It pours a dark amber with minimal head and almost no lacing. The taste is a lot of rum. There's a good amount of cherry flavor in the bacground. And a bit or tartness on the end. But the aftertaste is not that great. The feel is very smooth and creamy but very flat. Not a huge fan.
