13 Temná višeň

Tap to rate

A sour ale where the pleasant acidity of cherries meets light roasted and chocolate tones from the malts. It recalls cherry pralines in bitter chocolate, in liquid form: fruity freshness and a chocolatey character complement each other. Brewed dark and top-fermented with cherry purée, barley and wheat malts and salt, unfiltered and unpasteurised.

◌ Aroma

Bright sour cherry notes emerge immediately, underpinned by subtle cocoa and roasted grain complexity. The cherry character is fresh and tart rather than jammy, while hints of dark chocolate and light toast add depth without dominating. A gentle saltiness rounds the aromatic profile, enhancing the fruit's natural acidity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with zippy cherry acidity that defines the drinking experience, balanced against smooth chocolate and roasted malt undertones reminiscent of dark pralines. Mid-palate reveals berry complexity and a subtle mineral saltiness that lifts the acidity without harshness. The interplay of fruit and chocolate persists through to the finish, with a gentle roasted character providing structure.
