Brewery draught 5/21/26.
Low roast and dark chocolate mixing with a good amount of tart cherry, lacto and vanilla-like notes. Don't think any acetic and no alcohol noted. Round and balanced.
Malt to start with a good kick of lacto to sour things. There is a pinch of acetic, giving a Flemish flare but it doesn't get vinegary. Excellent malt and wood structure sosks up the acidity. Cherry only coming out as light skin and slight pulp character. Chewy, chocolatey, not too sweet or acidic. Dark sours are one of the more challenging styles to navigate and this has been done well.
