Flaske. Sort med et nøddebrunt skum. Dufter og smager af chokolade, nødder, let kaffe og er syrlig på en sjov måde. Masser af bobler.

Pours a deep brown with a tan head. Nose and flavor are dry and slight smoke with a touch of oak. More oak in the flavor and nice in the finish.

75cl bottle from Whole Foods (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown to black color with a massive three finger tan head that settles slowly with excellent lacing. Aroma is tart and malty with notes of ripe fresh fruit, chocolate, dark fruit, tobacco, molasses, some hints of sour fruit, coffee, wood and smoke. Flavor is also tart and malty with notes of sour fruit, ripe dark fruit, chocolate, coffee, wood, anise, molasses, some hints of caramel, honey and wood. Generally medium to full body with a sour and malty finish. I think the description by StFun of a sour stout is accurate. Interesting and different but . . . . .

Bottle. Pours black with creamy tan head. Roasty coffee aroma with a little sour oak. Very dry- lots of coffee and wood with no syrupy sweetness. The mouthfeel is nice and thick, and the oak really comes through in a long, bitter, (slightly) sour finish.

Nice and different, essentially a sour stout. Pours a deep black with a gigantic tan and frothy head. Aroma is sour tart, dark fruit, tobacco, and wood. Flavor is nice and sour on the front, with roasted grains, vanilla wood, figs, and burnt coffee on the back end. Slight bit of funk and tobacco as well. Sour flavor is sharp and bitter, touches of cheese-funk and bakers chocolate. Mouth feel is excellent, frothy and creamy, thick and rich. Overall a nice brew.

Pours a black hue with a light brown head that is huge! The head is mostly lasting as well. Aroma is of coffee, molasses, and citrus - weirdly enough. The entire combination of aromas lend to its sour aroma overall. Flavor has a sour beginning, with a bitter ending. Chocolate and Coffee flavors all the way through. Creamy mouthfeel with lively carbonation

Batch 265. Pours very thick with a huge enormous, dark brown, creamy head that leaves strong lacing. Black body. Aroma is cocoa, sour, rich coffee, molasses, and licorice with a few berries. Taste is woody and lightly sour with coffee grounds, caramel and raisins. Dryish mouthfeel, slightly fizzy.
