Clutch Dark: 5.5 – So as far as sour stouts go this isn’t bad, and in truth all the elements here of the sour, the ale, they all are fine on their own. Clinically there is nothing ruinous about this, it’s just not a beer anyone would ever seek out or really wish to buy again.

Bruery Tart of Darkness: 1.5 – It’s a stout, wait no it’s not. They decided to put spices and age the beer in barrels, and I have to wonder if they just had a large bad batches of beer, and are trying to pass it off as a ‘sour stout’ which are words that just seem like they shouldn’t be in the same sentence. I enjoy tart things, but even for tart this beer is just awful. Bruery is a fantastic company, and we enjoy many of their beers, but not this.
