    It's pretty damn solid.

    Indeed, well balanced. Poured a dark burgundy color, with little to no head. Smell was tarty, dark fruit.Taste was medium bodied, tasty malt character with dark fruit. Leaves a tarty dry wine finish.

    Also tried their cherry varient of it, delicious. Big punch of tart cherries from the beginning to end. Made me question if it this was beer or a full bodied wine.

    From FB:

    It's ‪‎Infinite Wishes blending day!! This barrel-aged Imperial Stout was born from The Nothing but as all good children do, it's taken on a life of its own.

    We will be announcing the bottle sales soon on BPT...official release will be mid-Jan, keep an eye out for the official announcement soon.

    Went to the tap room last night. I'm not a big sour fan in general and I was impressed with This Sour Future. My wife, who doesn't drink any sours, thought it was pretty good too.
    BTW, their new Tuesday hours are awesome. We showed up about 8:30 and there were literally 12 people in there including my wife and myself and the two folks manning the bar.

    Haven't seen mention yet, but they have Spittin' and Cussin' on which is their sour brown with sour cherries.

    Definitely in your face with the cherries but it's pretty damn good. Very krieky but a bit more acedic than lactic.

    Almost Christmas-like. I second the BPT. Might just have to get me one or 3.

    I'm sure they won't, they didn't have proxies allowed for their Sour Future.

    Finally got final thumbs up from the label printers and BPT so we can officially announce that Infinite Wishes Bottles go on sale Sunday, Jan 17th at Noon pm. Here's the link. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2491218

    Glad you like the label. We love the classic book reference; an enduring and classic beer deserves a label with as much class.

    Cuddlebug and Snugglebug bottle release slated for Feb 13th. BPT to come for that soon too. Snugglebug will NOT replace Cuddles, it's just a fun and delicious red variant for Valentines Day. <3 <3 <3 Porter's really freaking excited about this one.

    Cheers!
    Laurie
