What Our Panel Thought

Aroma: “Roasty and chocolate malt with a bit of barnyard Brett funk and dark fruit (plum and cherry). The fruit blends in with the malt and esters from the yeast.”

Flavor: “Everything seems to blend together. Rich dark caramel, plum, and cherry notes with moderate sourness. Finishes slightly astringent with a lingering sourness and plum ester character and some Brett funk. Residual sweetness improves drinkability. Aftertaste is smooth and not aggressive—‘more-ish.’ ”

Overall: “An intriguing dark sour with the subtle qualities of plum that blend into the rest of the malt and yeast character. Well balanced with adequate complexity. Very drinkable beer overall.”

What the Brewers Say

“Our limited-release dark sour that started in oak foeders and was then aged in whiskey barrels with plum.”
