Black Angel is a black sour ale aged on 1.5 pounds per gallon of tart Montmorency cherries. Nearly 10 months of bourbon barrel-aging and artful blending reveal a dark, complex and enrapturing sour ale.

On tap at Wicked Weed Funkatorium, pours a deep dark brown / black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of bourbon, with subdued cherries and gentle acidity. Flavour is along the same lines, with a really nice cohesion between bourbon and tart cherries. Oaky and only modestly acidic. Excellent.

Bottle: Poured a dark reddish color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of ground cherry with some tart notes is pretty enticing. Taste is also a mix of ground cherry notes with some tart and sour notes and light oak notes are also perceptible. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Great beer with good balance between all the flavours.
