The eleventh of twenty beers for our 10th wedding anniversary. Fátima's. Bottle 0.33l. Lightly cloudy, deep gold colored. AROMA- very funky, sharp, tones of leather, peach, apricot, some overripe fruit, lightly flowery, some vegetable. FLAVOR- neutral, quite very sour, sharp, really funky, goaty, exotic tones of pomegranate, sour pickles. Medium bodied. Well, somewhat wild this one.

Bottle. Black with shades of red featuring a small and short lived beige head. Aroma of vinegar, red wine, blueberries and cherries. I hate to admit but „Kalte Muschi“ comes to mind. Taste of vinegar, blueberries, cherries, lemons and a hint of roasted malts and dark chocolate. Very sour and acidic. No bitterness to speak of. Low to medium carbonation. There’s some alcoholic warmth but it never ever even comes close to feel like 11 %. Well I‘m not too fond of sour beers and probably never will but I think calling this a Stout is stretching it a bit - even for Brewdog’s standards. Interesting for sure but I don’t see this justifying a future purchase.

Bottle from the brewery online shop. Pours clear mahogany with a thin off-white head. Aromas of light sour funk, wood, raisin. Taste is more of the same. Light sour finish.

Nice dark amber colour. Large head and lots of audible fizziness, but it drops down to 1cm in short time. Sour cider nose, hint of apples, toffee. Bitter lemon in the mouth, again more reminiscent of cider than lager. Finish a bit watery. Ok. Strange reading the other reviews left me wondering: is it actually a sour beer at all? Possibly a dud.

Sour ale with raspberries from BrewDog's sour project in Ellon, thanks Erwin Plancke for sharing! Snow white, rather thin, open head, hazy peach blonde robe with rosy to orangey tinge from the fruit. Aroma of raspberries upfront, that typical sour tomato association they usually have, redcurrant, kefir, peaches soaked in raspberry vinegar, sour milk and a hint of sweaty feet. Very acidic onset, with sharp 'basic' lactic sourness strongly amplified by the natural acids from the fruit, but in any case with a clear (yellow) raspberry flavour - though I would not have minded a bit more of this fruit's sweetness too for sheer compensation, even if juicy traces of fructose are certainly there. Sour apple and gooseberry notes, strong drying lactic sourness with that fruit acidity continuing over a slender white-bready core; sweaty accents show up here and there (as in rancid butter or sweaty feet, but fortunately not that outspoken). Some bready accents in the finish, along with lingering green apple effects becoming almost as strong as the sour berries effectively used here. The sourness has a persistent drying effect, but the fact that part of it comes from the fruit, makes up for a lot. Tasty, in all, but rather straightforward and lacking depth and complexity, like other OverWorks sours I had. One for the sourheads 'pur sang'.

Black with a minimal light brown head. Aroma of chocolate, dark berries, and Hazel nut. Medium sourness with sour berries and chocolate end. Sour beers are not my kind but liked this one. bb 09.2025, vinmonopolet.no 12.2020.

330ml bottle from BrewDog Leicester, drunk in. Brownish red and mostly clear with a ring of beige head. Vinous, oaky notes on the nose, some red berry and maybe the hintiest hint sof white chocolate. Delicious tart taste with edges of red wine Vinegar and balsamic notes. A suggestion of coriander and of course more red berry and oak. Long vinous finish with incredible sour berry in the aftertaste. Oh wow, this is exquisite.

Bottled. Copper colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, tart wood and some red wine and chocolate tones. Flavour has some nice sweetness with a very acidic sharp edge as well as some chocolate, mild hazelnuts and some red wine elements. Smooth, good sipper.
