Dark Matter was brewed by BrewDog Shoreditch & Beavertown Brewery.
After formulating a massive, eclectic list of suggestions from the staff, including a Spiced Salt Beef Bagel Beer (?), our Shoreditch crew headed to Beavertown to discuss the beer with them. With sour beers having a massive effect on the UK craft beer scene this year, they opted for something that was ‘on-trend’ but also unpredictable: a Berliner Sour Stout. The brew was very different to anything Beavertown had done before and was a real challenge - it ended up taking 3 days to go from the mash to fermenter.

Keg at BD Shoreditch, 28/03/14. Extremely dark mahogany brown with moderate beige spotting and edgework. Nose is earthy, dirt laden, tarte berry fruits, smoke, dank wood, burnt raisens, light must. Taste comprises charred wood, burnt Garibaldi biscuits, tarte vinegar notes, berry balsams, light acidic notes, charcoal, tarte berry fruit. Light to medium body, fine carbonation, puckerings in the closure. Ok sour wild but a little high on the vinegar front, could be more balanced.

Brewdog, Shepherds Bush. Keg. Murky deep amber beer, small pale tan head. Palate starts smooth but has a minerally crisp trailing edge. Smooth malt, light cream. Subtle cherry led fruits blend with caramel - toffee and a little bitter spice. Finishes smooth and semi dry. Medium bitter linger.

Draught at BrewDog, Stockholm. Near black, coarse beige head. Dictinctly sour lactic nose. Bone dry with light body and clean mouthfeel. Citric acid mixed with licorice. Acidic finish with notes of blood. Rather one-dimensional. More experimantal than good.

Keg at Port Street Beerhouse. 03.11.13. Looks like cold, stewed coffee. No head. Aroma is very sour, mostly lime and dark cherry. Taste has some roast character along the lines of a stout. Sourness too. Sour finish. Refreshing. Weird. Good.
