Mar 9, 2008 Damn, there is a ton of funkiness to this beer. I freaking love it.
Aroma is totally bacterial and sweet.
Taste is sour, bacterial, yummy with some underlying sweet stout essences.
This is very freaking good, not overly complex.
Like a cream/sweet stout with funkiness, coffee roasted/ bitterness.

Mar 6, 2008 Bottle. A dark coffee brown pour. Very long retaining quarter inch brown head. Scent of oak, a little alcohol, a tinge of sourness, and burnt newspaper in the aroma. Slightly fizzy carbonation on the palate. Malt sweetness followed by a mild amount of sour. Earthy oak nuttiness, sour milk, dill pickles, sharp cheddar cheese. An Excellent beer!

Mar 6, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry: Poured a deep black color stout with a big light brown foamy head with some good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of roasted malt is mix with some sour bretty notes. Taste is also a mix between some roasted bitter malt notes with some sour and bretty notes which didn’t mix very well IMO. Medium body with some good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I am usually one up for experiment but the mix between stout and bretty Belgian is something I could do without.

Mar 5, 2008 Courtesy of MiguelMandingo. Thanks!
Pours a rich chocolately brown to black color with not much head to speak of. Smell is wood, a bit funky and tart roastiness. Taste is als tart and roasty with sour cherry like flavors mingling with chocolate. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Reminds me of a cherry stout, but is a bit more unique than that with some added complexity. Enjoyed this much more than I expected.

Mar 4, 2008 Pours pitch black with coffee colored head. Aroma is dominated by oak and whiskey with a nice amount of raosted malts underneath. Oak and whiskey up fron with hints of vanilla and slight sourness followed by rich roasted maltines, chocolate, fig and dark fruit. A very complex amazing beer!

Feb 11, 2008 Pours deep black into a snifter. Mocha head recedes to skim surface and hug rim. Sour apple and chocolate aromas. Smooth with upfront espresso and a sour, lasting crisp apple and peach finish.
