Poured from the bottle into a tasting snifter.
Appearance: The beer pours a reddish brown/dark amber color with a ring of off white head that goes away.
Smell: There is a dark sour funk that reminds me a bit of red berries. I'm also getting a sweet component that reminds me of brown sugar.
Taste: This one is quite tart up front with a good amount of sweet brown sugar malt to balance things out. There is some vinegar and a red berry like tartness. The finish is tart.
Mouthfeel: The body is medium with just a hint of tingly carbonation and a dry finish.
Overall: Dark sours aren't my favorite, but I thought this one was pretty good. I'd have more if someone offered.

Brown and ruddy in appearance, super thin 1/7" tan head. Great aroma, dark fruit, charred malt, coffee from the malt and toffee notes. Complex.
Taste, a good amount of acetic acid, vinegar like aspect pairing with darker malt. Full on carbonation, alcohol noticeable, dark cherry and dark fruit bitterness as well as tartness.
An interesting and unique enough beer. Closes up drying. Would bang again at the right price. Wouldn't chase.
