Beer Profile

The Darkening

The Darkening is a black cherry sour ale that showcases a deep, ruby-black hue with a tangy and tart character. Aromas of ripe black cherries mingle with subtle vinous notes, supported by a gentle acidity. On the palate, the beer balances bright, puckering sourness with rich dark fruit flavors, complemented by a smooth, medium-light body. The finish is crisp yet lingering, highlighting the interplay between the sour profile and the natural sweetness of black cherries. This sour ale offers a complex, refreshing experience for those who enjoy fruit-forward sour beers with depth and character.
