Ensorcelled

Complex and unusual aroma of dark moist German multigrain bread, smoked cedar, dry coco powder with dried sour black cherries and red raspberry compote. The ale is an opaque muddy brown color with a low tan head clinging only to the sides of the glass but when swirled creates Belgian lace.  Flavors start as a tart sour lemon zest with a frothy raspberry crème. The finish is a salty raspberry milk chocolate truffle with a low aftertaste of old pink rubberbands. Mouthfeel has high fine carbonation with moderate acidity supported by low chocolate graham cracker flavor with medium body. Overall a unique and interesting sour beer, but the pieces are a bit jangly. The combination comes together in a reasonable whole but lacks succinctness or focused complexity.
