COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Tart of Darkness is a sour Stout aged in oak, Brewed to resemble a Stout at it's foundation, the journey into darkness begins with fermentation in large oak puncheons at Bruery Terreux, where it's treated with a special blend of souring bacteria and wild yeast cultures. Following a slow but wildly active fermentation, the beer is transferred for extended aging into a dedicated collection of used oak barrels for Tart of Darkness. This includes emptied bourbon barrels from the Bruery that previously held beers such as Black Tuesday. This special edition was aged with black currants, imparting ripe, jammy notes to our awesomely dark and roasty sour Stout.

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2021 Bottle, 0.375l. Aroma of black currant, red wine, barnyard, wood and mild chocolate. Pours dark brown color with thin creamy light brown head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with tart black currant, red wine and lactose, follows by tannins, roasted malt and dark chocolate with astringent mouthfeel. Medium body, slick texture and soft carbonation in palate. Tart as hell...

colui72 (3437) - Yuen Long, HONG KONG - JUN 4, 2021
UPDATED: JUL 2, 2021 Black currants on the nose, with malty notes of roasty grain, wild yeast funk andfruity esters. Very different indeed! Pours very dark brown close to black, a tan head with a purple-ish hue lost in browness. Small head, but high retention and pretty laces. Tart, but not acidic, weird, it has a stout character (roasty and caramelly), the black currant, and the wild sourness with fruity esters and a touch of funk. Impressive. Smooth, creamy, soft, well carbonated, very easy on the palate. Excellent and unique wild-sour stout-fruited ale. Call it as you wish, but it remains excellent!
