Big Black Mango presents a striking sensory juxtaposition, appearing as a midnight-black pour while delivering the sharp, refreshing acidity of a Straight Sour Beer. The aroma is an intense blend of lush, tropical mango and the deep, earthy spice of licorice, backed by a clean lactic tartness. On the palate, the 6% ABV provides a medium-light body that carries flavors of juicy fruit and savory anise over a subtle bready malt foundation. This combination finishes dry and effervescent, with the mango sweetness perfectly countered by a crisp, lemony finish and lingering licorice complexity, creating an alluringly unconventional profile.
