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, smallish head, opaque black colour, aroma of prunes, dark bread, vanilla oakiness and some umami, flavor of prunes and raisins with a bit of chocolate behind, quite sweet but with a mellow sourness balancing really nicely. Highly enjoyable.

Bottle. Morrison’s. Fridge clear out job. Pours like thick flat cola. Halo of tan tight bubbles. Nose has thick flat cola. Nut roast. Sour apple. Praline. Chocolate ice cream. Taste is tart and dry, with a sticky chocolate sweetness on the lips. Decent body with fine crisp carbonation. Sourness kicks in on the finish. Doesn’t come together too well for me. Seems all over the place. Fair play to Morrison’s for sticking these on the shelf, though.
