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) Black colour with brief, foamy, beige head. Malty, roasty, fruity nose with notes of dark cherries, raspberries, dark chocolate, caramel, dark bread and oak wood. Malty, fruity, tart taste with sour cherries, raspberries, chocolate truffles, oak wood, balsamic vinegar, almonds, a touch of vanilla and a tart finish with some sweetness coming through. Low bitterness. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. Rich, tart and tasty. Very nice.

Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers! Pours clear deep brown with a creamy, khaki head. Light sweet flavour with forward tangy dark fruits, a little funk, earth, old leather. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Leathery tart berries to finish, a little sharp tang, earth. Not bad.
