Bottle. I missed this release, so hella thanks to felipe for sharing this with me! Pours deep brown to black with a small brown head and decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is roasty, cocoa, light notes of smoke, vinous. Fairly light on the nose overall. Flavor follows, lightly tart and roasty, some fruity/vinous notes. A bit of oaky astringence leading to a dry finish. Fairly light bodied, but smooth.

Pours black with a small light brown head. Some lacing, decent retention though there’s not much to retain. The aroma is big on red wine barrel. There’s some chocolate and roast lingering in there but they’re lurking towards the back. Raspberries, cherries, blackberries, red grapes, plums, pluots. Taste is tart and fruity. Not much of the base beer is left. There’s some mild roast and chocolate but even less than the aroma. Lots of berries. Mouthfeel is pretty light with gentle bubbles. Definitely a wild ale feel. Some decent pucker in the finish. This is a very good dark sour. I’m not the biggest fan of dark sours but this is a solid one.

Aroma is fairly dominated by red wine and oak with some of the base beer present. Light roast, coffee and chocolate. Light acidity in the aroma. As it warms the malt becomes more noticeable. Pours black with a thin light mocha head that recedes to the edges fairly quickly. No lacing and moderate legs. Flavor is very wine forward with a lot of tart berry and cherry notes. Light chocolate and roast, but most of the malt character has receded. The acidity is clean, lactic and well balanced. Much like in the aroma, the malt becomes more noticeable as the beer warms. Medium low bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied withe medium low carbonation. Low but present astringency, likely from the acid and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall a good dark sour, but I think I am starting to like dark sours less; the acidify always seems to wash out the base beer. There is a lot of nice fruitiness to it and the acidity is well balanced. Good wine and oak notes.
