Black Beary is an imperial blackberry sour. Packed with over half a tonne of blackberry, this beer is big and sharp with a smooth but jammy body. The simple, neutral base beer allows the naturally tart fruit to shine in this crisp and refreshing sour.

Pours a cloudy, dark purple coloration with a medium, fluffy head and plenty of chunky floaters. Smells of light caramel malt and sweet and tart blackberry. Taste is a good balance of sweet caramel malt and tart blackberry, with a good underlying lactic acidity as well. Finsihes with a medium acidity and some caramel malt and blackberry lingering in the aftertaste. smooth, full mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
I'm a little torn on this one, to be honest. On the one hand, I think that it actually turned out quite well for what it is, not feeling quite too sweet or boozy for its monstrous ABV, with some nice tart blackberry notes and a good acidity, but on the other hand I just gotta wonder why make this 12.5% in the first place when it would probably have been a lot nicer at around 8% ABV or less. Fruited Kettle Sours are essentially summer beers anyway and they don't really gain much complexity or richness from a higher ABV, so this obsession with making super-high ABV Fruited Sours is really weird to me.
