Otherworld Brewing Tamarind Dark Sour
Sour Ale 4.3 º
This Straight Sour Beer presents an evocative dark profile inspired by the depth of traditional Flemish ales. Intricate layers of tropical tamarind provide a tangy, citrus-forward acidity that pierces through a rich base of date-like sweetness and subtle molasses. The inclusion of tamarind fruit adds a unique, zesty character, while secondary notes of redcurrant jam offer a vinous complexity that balances the clean lactic sourness. Despite its dark appearance, the beer remains light on the palate, offering a refreshing juxtaposition of deep, dried-fruit malt character and a bright, acidic finish characteristic of modern souring techniques.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark chestnut (25–30 SRM) with a fine-beaded, tan head that shows moderate retention. Clarity is slightly hazy, reflecting the use of fruit adjuncts.
Aroma. High intensity of sharp, clean lactic acidity and the pungent, tangy scent of tamarind. Underlying malt notes suggest toasted bread, dark sugar, and molasses. Esters are prominent as dark fruit, specifically redcurrant and dried dates. No hop aroma is present.
Taste. An initial punch of sharp, tamarind-driven acidity leads the palate. The mid-palate reveals a more complex malt structure than typical for the style, featuring hints of molasses and bready crusts. The tamarind contributes a zesty citrus flavor, complemented by a jammy redcurrant fruitiness. Bitterness is undetectable. The finish is dry and tart with a lingering tang of dark fruit skin.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body that remains refreshing despite the dark malt profile. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing an effervescent prickle that enhances the acidity. Alcohol warmth is negligible; the finish is crisp with no astringency.
