Cocoa Porter Winter Warmer

Oh dear.
I first saw this in Atlanta a few weeks ago at the Taco Mac in Marietta and at that time the barman advised me against it since he thought it was sour or perhaps even off. I avoided it then, but a couple of weeks later a barman gave me a taster at the Decatur Taco Mac. I thought it still tasted very sour and it seemed very, very thin.
So, fast forward to today and I find myself at Taco Mac in Douglasville which had just got this in yesterday, and I finally decided I should order it and try it properly for myself – a mistake.
Looks are not bad with some thin lacing and a decent brown body. Mouthfeel is the real problem here. Woefully weak and completely lacking any kind of substance for a Porter. The tastes are not much better. A distinct acid/apple acidity, much like an infected beer. Sour and weak, a poor effort.
Mild cocoa or coffee aftertaste but it remins an afterthought.
Not good at all.
