This decadent dessert sour combines juicy Scottish strawberries with the rich, luxurious taste of creamy chocolate.
Pouring a deep ruby red colour, we’ve double dipped our favourite fruit to create a sweet-sour symphony and a velvety smooth finish.

Can that Em gave me (bought from Waitrose) - thanks Em! Dirty, murky pinkish-red colour with a white head. I've never thought thought chocolate works very well in a sour beer and at first the odd aroma seemed to reinforce this perception. There's creamy milk chocolate up front with a touch of yoghurt in a very smooth mouthfeel. But then strawberry juice comes through, and the creaminess suddenly makes sense. With just a mild tartness, this is more sweet than sour, and after a few gulps it felt like a bowl of strawberries and cream with just a light dusting of cocoa. I quite enjoyed it by the end, but as with all such brews I'm not convinced it's really beer anymore.

440ml can at home on 22nd February 2026. Misty red body, off white topping. Strawberry nose and initial taste, some strange chocolate flavours creep in. All a bit too weird for me.

Cloudy red/orange pour with a stable white head. Aromas is strawberries, chocolate/cocoa, a hint of raspberry vinegar. Taste is strawberry, milk/cream, hints of cocoa and vinegar. Nice, but not exactly what it says on the tin.

440ml can, Boxing Day 2025. Pours a cloudy red, good off-white head. Prominent strawberry, moderately full smooth mouthfeel.. no chocolate unfortunately and not especially sour. Would that have worked anyway? Maybe not. Would've scored higher as a simple strawberry fruit beer.

Enjoyable stuff. Vaguely artificial but not too much so. A bit of berry tartness, mild acidity. Some strawberry juice. Maybe an impression of cocoa but not really. Nips of medicine. It’s fairly cohesive but still juvenile.

Vault City Evening At Home Trio - Beer 2 of 3. Hazy pink colour. Its strawberry dominates and is relatively sweet within this sour. Its chocolate is light but evident in both aroma and taste, but doesn't impact the fruit too much, but maybe subdues its sourness to an extent. The more I supped the more its sourness developed.

The aroma is moderately sweet, like strawberry candy, perhaps with a hint of vanilla. The colour is a dirty red, and there's almost no head. The taste is creamy and strawberry, with chocolate detectable only in the finish. The body is slightly creamy, velvety, with a good amount of lactose and citric acid. Pleasantly refreshing.
