The Darkening

The Darkening is a black cherry sour ale that offers a complex interplay of tartness and fruitiness. Its deep ruby to nearly black hue hints at the rich cherry character within. On the nose, ripe black cherries mingle with subtle earthy and funky notes typical of sour ales. The palate balances sharp, refreshing acidity with juicy, slightly sweet cherry flavors, supported by a smooth, medium-light body. A hint of oak or Brettanomyces character may add complexity, while the finish is clean and tangy, inviting another sip. This beer showcases the lively, fruit-forward nature of a well-crafted sour with an added depth from its dark cherry base.
