Tasting : Sour Porter 2.0

It's been eight months from brew day for the second half of my Sour Porter. It's been long enough to see how the funky portion turned out. 
Just like the first half, the second has a strong oak flavor from the London Ale strain. It works well with the slight barnyard funk of the Brett. The earthy hop character is subdued compared to the first, but still present. The chocolate flavors are bigger, but more rounded and less harsh. My only complaint is the sourness it's strong enough. I plan on doing a rebrew with the same grain bill, but shoot for somthing more sour.
