Expert description of Blackout Brewing Vision Port BA Dark Sour

Vision Port BA Dark Sour is a dark, sour and wine-like specialty beer at 10% from the Romanian brewery Blackout Brewing, where roasted malts, fruity acidity and the port barrel's deep character melt together into a complex, layered whole. The beer appears deep ruby-dark in the glass with a lightly oily structure that already hints at its combination of dark malts and sour elements.

The aroma offers dark berries like cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry, combined with lightly roasted malts, mild acidity and a distinct port character with notes of dried fruit, oak and a wine-like sweetness. The flavour is full-bodied and fruity with a pronounced acidity that lifts the dark malts' heavy expression. Notes of cherry, red fruit, cocoa and light coffee blend with the port barrel's warmth, tannins and rounded sweetness.

The finish is long and complex with dark berries, mild acidity, oak and a rounded port note that lingers. Vision Port suits those seeking a dark beer with distinct sour and wine-like elements, who appreciate beer that challenges and surprises.
