Notes:
Alright here goes. Jst transfered to secondary and grabbed a sample.
Live. Tasting. Now.
Appearance: Dark like a porter. Not carbed, so no head. Almost orange at the edges.
Aroma = Coffee. Caramel. No real hint of sourness. No hops.
Flavor = Sour boy howdy. Fruity sour tho. So some sweetness. Not bitter.
Palate = Medium body. Little thin.
I'm betting these only get better with one more week of aging, and some co2.
