On tap at Meridian Pint.
3.2% dark sour with lacto, brett, and raspberries
Appearance: Pours a pretty deep black color. Much more head than expected, a nice dark khaki color. Random lines and dots of lacing.
Smell: At times, smells like baby Tart of Darkness. Lactic acidity firm on the nose with roast-like notes of coffee and chocolate as well. A bit of sweet/tart raspberry but it's mild.
Taste: A lot of components here that all work together pretty well. A berliner type sourness with notes of roast and hints of malt-driven toffee that come forward late palate along with more raspberry than the nose hinted at.
Feel: Light bodied but not watery or thin. Not quite as carbonated as a typical Berliner or Gose, which helps with the roasted malt character.
Overall: Whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Fun and flavorful to drink at 3.2%. Well done.

This wastes no time in offering something different from your bog-standard Berliner weisse. Lacto tartness comes through fairly assertively on the nose, yet so do notes of chocolate and coffee. Subtle raspberry ties everything together, too. Its flavor is similar, but with a bit more of everything. The lacto tartness hits my palate first, before allowing the raspberries to pop up vividly mid-palate. It finishes slightly roasty, with some additional dark chocolate and caramel. This is a classical three-act beer - tart opening, raspberry body, chocolaty ending. It's 3.2%, yet doesn't seem very watery at all. Drinking this, I'm convinced: Burley Oak doesn't always nail it, but they kick ass when it comes to ultra-light rustic beers.
