bottle from rodger. Huge chipotle, coffee, chocolate, lemon, sour apple, and bourbon aroma. Best, most complex aroma to date. So many elements involved here. Unlike others, I really like this one and think, despite all its elements, it really works. A new take on a sour ale.

Nov 29, 2008 Draught at the Bistro. Black darkness with a voluptuous head. Tart, lemon and acidic coffee aroma. Dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and lots of straight sourness in the flavor. Medium bodied, seemed lighter than 8%. Interesting flavor combination, but I’m still not sure if I think it really works. Regardless, it executes what it sets out to do quite well.

Oct 31, 2008 Draft, courtesy of KrausenJockey. Thanks!! Pours a dark, chocolate-brown color with patchy lacing. Loads of dark chocolate, red fruits, and cocoa in the aroma. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy wet malts, tart cherries, and sweet malt / chewy character; nicely tart presence coupled to a chewy dense cocoa and bitter chocolate presence. Lengthy finish: cocoa and bitter citrus; light tartness; nicely dry.

Jul 28, 2008 Stone Sourfest. Nice concept but this one doesn’t really work. Tastes like a sour stout. Interesting though.

Jul 28, 2008 Sampled at the Stone Sour Fest. Wow, I really liked this one. Second favorite of the day. I fully enjoyed the aromas and the flavors. I had just finished talking to the brewer before I had one of these. He told me about the chipotle pepper aromas and flavors. I wonder if I would have picked them out. I think I would have. It was really there. A very interesting flavor to go with the sour. Very very good.
