Had this on tap at Monk's Cafe in Philly. Review from notes (April 09)
A - poured a rich dark brown with a short lived tan head that diminished into a thin cap quickly. Small trails of lace.
S - Sour lemon zest, tart cherries and unripe berries. Sweetness of caramelized malt blends well with the funkiness and earthiness. I did not pick up much from the porter aspects, perhaps a faint hint of dark chocolate with raspberries.
T - A lot going on here. Sour citrus fruits take the lead. Acidity and earthiness of an aged red wine follow and sour grapes round up the rear. I nearly puckered when sipping this. Again, I did not taste much with regards to the porter. No roastiness at all, perhaps a hint of chocolate again. The finish is dry and no alcohol is apparent. Reminiscent of a Flemish Sour or maybe an American Wild Ale.
M - Medium/light bodied with very strong carbonation. My palate tickled from it.
D - Quite drinkable, although the carbonation was a bit much. I had to swirl it a bit to calm it down.
Overall - This was a very interesting offering. I was undecided as to whether I liked it or not after the first sip but it grew on me and I ended up enjoying it. I'm only confused as to what the style is, it seems like there is much more Framboise than porter. I picked up very little in that department, save a hint of chocolate. I know their porter is an English style but I don't think this is considered a lambic. Nonetheless, it was delicious and I would seek this out again.
