Sour cherries and crab apple cross fed on gunpowder.

Malty, bitter dark chocolate lifted by a nice tart finish

Usually I steer well clear of tart or sour ale. This was a gift and so I tried it. I like it! Lots of other flavors to balance the tartness, and the tartness is also subdued.

Nose is vibrant - Cocoa powder, toasted, Werther's originals.
Sour palate - tart with texture and fullness. No bubbles. Will have to figure out the best time and place for it.

A little more sour than monks cafe. I think I prefer monks Flemish spur ale
