Feb 18, 2008 Tap @ Liar’s Club Grand Opening. Poured black with an off-white head. The aroma was tart with some vinegar and roasted malt. It was tart and roasty with a chocolate and coffee finish. Hmm odd. The flavor was roasty and mildly acidic but it actually started to grow on me. Light body with a clean finish.

Jul 21, 2008 Tap @ 2nd Annual Stone sour fest. Pours black with a tan ring. Nose was smoky and roasty and malty and strange for a sour. Taste is sweet and tart and malty and strange but also appealing.

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.

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.

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.
