About This Beer
To make it, the crew at JK started with a sumptuous, midnight-black base. They flavored it with a blend of aged and fresh hops, then fermented with their mixed farmhouse yeast culture. They aged the brew for between one and two years in oak barrels, then carefully selected the ideal casks to blend into the final brew.
Tasting Notes
Pour yourself a pint, and you’ll groove to aromas of dark cherry swirling against hints of baker’s chocolate, cinnamon, and a subdued sour quality not often found in Stout. Base notes of woody oak on the finish keep the beer shockingly drinkable for a surprising yet inviting sip.

creative twist with a cherry highlight but doesn’t quite land right
3.0
Shocking taste. By that I mean the extremely dry, bitter taste shocks your taste buds if you’re expecting a smooth stout. It is reminiscent of bitter cherry juice with coffee and chocolate notes. I think it would pair well with ice cream. I find it difficult to drink alone.
3.5
It’s confusing. On the one hand you have a nice strong sour and farmhouse funk with barrel in the finish, but the stout part is almost entirely absent.
4.0
Bought it for uniqueness; never seen a sour stout before. First sip was weird, coffee, chocolate, sour. Later , tastes more funky sour than stout
