Thanks to JDV and pintsized for sharing!

A-Dark, with deep red cheery wood look
S-Tart with dark cherries and fruit, smell the Brett, no detection of offensive funks
T-Tart upfront with cherries fading in, the more up you sip the more a toffe, cocoa flavor emerges, along with the dark cherries, other fruit flavors, some woodiness. So complex that my taste buds don't know what to expect. Gets better as warms. not terribly sour.
M-Slightly thin with big flavors, decent carbonation, nice.
D-I could sip on this for quite a while but I just can't drink too many sours in a row

Thanks for the tick Jeff!

A: Pours a murky dirty mud brown with a thin collar of a head.
S: Super cherry nose with scents of tannic cherry pits and skins mixed with darker stout/strong ale flavors.
T: Cherries, oak, chocolate, caramel, brown sugar, and maybe some vegetables? Sourness is strong and vinegary.
M: Rough around the edges, greasy, low carbonation.
O: Dark cherries all the way. Not my favorite, but not bad either. Not sure if should age longer or not.

Bottle generously shared by ipa247. Thanks Jeff. Pours a muddy brown with no head and no lacing on the glass. The aroma is lots of brown sugar, caramel, some cherry, bourbon, and some vanilla. There is also a bit of acetic acid. The taste is sweet and tart with brown sugar, some cherry, a bit of leather, and some bourbon. The finish is tart with a bit of brown sugar. Medium-full body. Low carbonation.

I had this at Sour and Bitter. Poured into a stemless wine glass.

Appearance: Pours a murky mahogany with a half finger of off white head that leaves a thin ring around the edge of the glass.

Smell: Tart with some brown sugar sweetness. Some dark fruit and cherry notes. The smell has a slightly off quality to it.

Taste: Tartness that reminds me of dark cherry. Sweet brown sugar and some chocolate notes. The off note in the smell shows up in the flavor as well, but not as much.

Mouthfeel: Medium body with tingly carbonation and a dry finish.

Overall: The off note really brought this one down for me. I enjoyed everything else that I tasted and smelled. I think I would pass on this beer in the future.

A - Dark beer with a bit of red in there. Pretty nice, slightly tannish head that rose up a couple fingers and left some stick on the sides.

S - Nice vinegar and lactic sourness. There's some good cherry and a little bit of chocolate and toffee. Vanilla and oak compliment this nicely.

T - Taste is very good. Good sourness, vinegar, vanilla, oak with a touch of cherry. Slight bit of cocoa malts add a much meatier flavor on the sour.

M - Fuller side of medium bodied with good carbonation.

O - A surprisingly enjoyable beer that has nice sourness and tartness. Would drink again.
