a bit of roastiness with a strange sour cheese taste. With my eyes close I would never guess that this one was a stout. Very dry finish,. Interesting beer. This one came off sort of like an experiment that turned out interesting but not super successful.

Body is black with a dissapating tan head. Aroma is very roasty, light chocolate, caramel. Differant for a stout for sure... Lemon, grapefruit, roasty, a bit salty.

Bottle from either Sean or Craig. Took one to the Carolina tasting. Pours out a brownish almost black color with a thick head on it. Smell is sweet and somewhat sour, almost like the smell of a milk stout. The taste is smooth and rich and it does have a sour quality. Not many hops, but the sourness is offset some by the sweet roasted character that comes through as the beer warms up a little more. Quality stuff, but I can see how people would be turned off of this beer.

I bought this bottle at Hi Time Cellars. It pours dark brown/black with a fluffy white head. The flavor is tart, almost like a sour vinuous (maybe sour lactic?) and I really didn’t enjoy it. I was expecting a lot better.

Bottle at Carolina Crew get-togther. Thanks Ross, I think. Pours dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is interesting--definite brett, some fresh cocoa, roasted malt. I like the funk, but not so much in my stouts. A nice idea and offering from JP, but not really my bag, baby.
