JohnC (2220), Mission Viejo, California, USA Aug 25, 2009 I had this beer on tap at Beachwood BBQ’s sour beer fest.
This soured version of Death and Taxes (a schwarzbier) is interesting. The souriness hits you up front but it definitely finishes w/ the roastiness of a schwarzbier. Unique & tasty. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Feb 27, 2009 Wet leather like influence dominates the nose and flavor. Some balsamic vinegar influence. bikesandbeers (468), Los Angeles, California, USA Jan 3, 2009 on Tap at Liars Club Alpine. Black beeer with a wak vinegar nose. flavor was strong sour with some purple fruit and some smookiness. stragne and not that enjoyable, but different. on a night featuring RR Tor 20 and others this wasn’t worth finishing. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Jul 28, 2008 Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. Nose was a little weak. Flavor was still sour. But not an excellent sour like some that we had there. Roasted malts were very interesting in combo with the sour flavors. DaSilky1 (1924), San Diego, California, USA Jul 22, 2008 looked black to me and had but a halo of suds atop. Very roasty nose with interesting lactic sour backing. Flavors were sour, roasty and actually it all seemed to combine interesting and nice. padrefan98 (787), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Jul 22, 2008 Sampled at the Second Anual Stone Sour Festival on 7/20/2008. A pretty average sour ale. A little vinegar in the finish. Overall just ok. Snojerk321 (1911), San Diego, California, USA Jul 21, 2008 Tap @ Stone Sour Fest 2008. Pours a dark rust color with a small off white head. Nose of toasted oak, sweet and sour plums and currants. Flavor was very woody and faintly sour. wetherel (1553), Encinitas, California, USA Jul 21, 2008 On tap at Stone’s Sour Fest 2008. Black. Roasty burnt bitter flavor. My least favorite of the fest. Didn’t finish sample.
