I ended up liking this one a lot more than I thought I would. The tartness cut through the stout in a way that didn't clash like some of Jolly Pumpkins offerings (such as their weizen bam, imo). Really a very enjoyable beer in a way that some sours aren't, I could have put down a bottle by myself easily, maybe my batch was more on its game?

@frackle Ive had this beer since this review and liked it a lot more from the tap. I think they blended the sourness perfectly with the stout characters. Since these are all blended beers it could be that each batch will be different.

I cant wait to have this one, its in my cellar, ill have to check the bottling date on it. I had Luciernaga a couple weeks ago, it was good, but the tartness was a bit weak. Really big spice on that one though.

@superspak Yeah this was a really strange one but I thought it was a really nice sipper. Let me know how your bottle is. Cheers

@StephenDickerman Yeah If you have never had a sour stout give this one a try. Cheers
