Sour stout aged in oak barrels
Roasty notes and aromas balance perfectly with carefully-conditioned tartness in this barrel-aged sour stout. Aged in experienced oak barrels that have housed some of our most beloved masterpieces, Tart of Darkness deliciously executes the unique characters of a sour stout.

On tap at Harry’s Hofbrau. Sourness is a little restrained. Roast is a little overdone. Color is brown and clear, with a deep taupe head. Had this after the Oude Tart, which I loved....so this score may have been hindered by how much I enjoyed the last glass.

My love for sour beers has taken a really big circle that always brings me back to the beer that started it in the first place. I always liked sours, but the day I tried this beer, I loved them. This one is quite unique compared to the others. I’ve had this several timea, both on the bottle and on tap. Pours a dark muddy brown with little head. Sour berry and cherry aroma. Flavor is very tart up front, with cherry, vanilla, and some oak flavor. I’ll always dance with the one that brought me. I love this beer, and it ultimately sent me on my quest to find the best beers this world has to offer. Still my favorite beer to this day. I’m grateful for this beer.

Nice. Sour plum and cherry. Doesn’t really taste that much like a stout anymore, not like others that have gone this route. No element of roast really. Finishes medium sour. Pours dark brown with good head and lacing. Tap at Meridian Pint.

Bottle, 2013. Pours black with a fairly big airy head. Aroma is very nice and sour with burned malts, balsamic vinegar, and a massive fruitiness, as well as deep dark whiffs of oak and leather. Medium body with creamy texture with soft to average carbonation. Flavour has an initial dryness with a tart fruity yeast and funky brett with lemon peel, but develops more rounded fruity and vinous notes of grapes and oak giving a nice and long tart finish.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma of sour dark fruits, some light roast and cocoa. Flavour is very lactic and puckeringly sour - very tart and sour, overly sour. Way too lactic and sour for me. Out of balance, sour and vinegary. Another untasteful Bruery vinegar bomb.

Fra flaske på Cardnaltreff mars-14: aromatisk er dette er stilen på sitt beste, og smaken har en god og balansert surhet i seg som gjør den lett å drikke. et øl som kan fungere både som aperitiff og avslutning på en god aften. Med både brettanomyces og lactobacillicus, og det kjennes. Et godt øl med personlighet.

Bottle at Cardinal, 2014/03/24. Black. Sour, but not too extreme. A lot of citrus taste and body. Nice!

Bottle shared at BrewDog, Bristol. 2013 Edition, 7% ABV, expensive! Black colour, minimal beige head. Sour aroma, the like of which one would normally reject were it not it’s intended style, with hints of roasted chocolate and dark fruits. Heavy sour taste, subtle sweetness in background. Chocolate comes through. I like sour, I like stout - but not sure the combo is a style (or the beer is a price) I’ll be rushing back to but that doesn’t detract from it being a good beer.
