Black Forest Gateau inspired, luxurious sour. Packed full of cherries, raspberries, vanilla beans and cacao nibs. Bursting with flavours of this wintery dessert, but with the bright fresjhness of a Garage sour. Backflips drinks with a more balanced acidity than we normally shoot for to allow the other flavours to have their time in the limelight. A pale sour base with plenty of Munich malt and a touch of Biscuit and Caramel Malts give this beer some chewy pie crust vibes. Aromas of red berries, chocolate and vanilla sit in harmony with an extremely rich body from lashings of flaked oats and just enough lactose to give an incredibly smooth and decadent feel while the acidity is just enough to stop things getting too sweet.

De Labirratorium. En copa shaker de Garage. Jugando a FFX. De chocolate ni rastro. La vainilla la suaviza y facilita su ingesta. Se bebe sin problemas pero tampoco llega a ser algo memorable. La acidez se nota pero no molesta

Pours a cloudy, deep ruby red coloration with a medium, creamy head. Smells of light doughy malt and distinct raspberry and cherry aromatics, as well as hints of chocolate and vanilla. Taste is an excellent balance of light doughy malt, vibrant, tart raspberry and cherry notes, as well as more subtle hints of dark chocolate and sweet vanilla, with a great underlying lactic acidity. Finishes with a medium tartness and some raspberry and cherry lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
While I'm not a huge fan of Pastry Sours at all, I really enjoyed this for its excellent balance of tart and sweet notes, with an expressive fruitiness, subtle sweetness and and perfect interpretation of "Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte" (Black Forest cake). It's got a very natural taste to it, not being too artificial, sweet or boozy at all, while somehow managing to feel both quite rich and refreshing at the same time. It's that great balance of very dominant tart and fruit and subtle, not overbearing, sweet notes that really makes this work very well. I think it's very ironic when people rate this badly because it's not "pastry" (cloyingly sweet) enough, but I guess pastry bois prefer sugary sweetness over subtle balance. Oh craftbeer, wherefore art thou?
