Dark Sour is very dark indeed. Dark brown (SRM 29-33) with dark copper highlights. A thin, very fine, ecru head briefly reaches half an inch before settling to a veil. A thin, viscous film does settle on the glass.

The aroma is similar to sweet balsamic vinegar. This is followed by blackberries, currants and a medicinal quality.

The flavor has light tartness and is lightly acrid with bitter and sweet notes. The berries and aroma follow through and linger in a long, strong finish.

The body is light to medium. Alcohol is as expected. The texture is watery. There is astringency and there are some metallic flavors.

This beer fell short of what I had hoped for, however, it shows real potential for future development.
