Description
Last beer was released in July 2021 and common consensus is that this is the year the brewery should be set as closed.

Do note that due to the nature of the beers produced both BrewDog and other online retailers continued to sell the beers for many years after the closure.

Dedicated to exploring and pushing the boundaries of what is possible with fermentation, we are on a quest to redefine Wild and Sour beers, forever. With a purpose-built facility where craft and nature find harmony, we utilise wild yeasts and microbes from our environment and ingredients sourced from all around the world.

Bottle at BBT 2/2022. Pretty sharp acetic acid dominates the character here, right from aroma into the first sip and everything afterwards. Almost everything else is killed here. Thin body and med-high carbonation, lots of sourness. Med-high generally fruity feeling, but otherwise mostly vinegar. The balance is completely off here, the beer is not bad, but does not live up to the commercial description at all. Does not feel like stout, no vanilla, cherries are lost in the mix, not at all harmonic.
