    Is it me, or are Bruery's releases tasting a bit sour? First White Chocolate, and now Cacaonut. I hope it doesn't happen with BT. Opinions?

    I didt pick any tartness in Cacaonut, I thought it was super beetus but I did have it on tap so who knows bottle wise.

    This version of White Oak Sap is a bit more tart than in years prior. Some of the blends are a bit more tart as a result. BT will be safe.

    Last Christmas I had White Oak Sap and thought it tasted slightly tart, or fruity. Not sour by any stretch, but I assumed it was the high amount of wheat and the tartness wheat imparts. Since White Oak Sap is the base for White Chocolate and, from what I understand, a component of Cacaonut, I wonder if that's what you're tasting.

    I had a taster of cacaonut on draft I got no sour notes from it.. Was it out of a bottle ?

    Bought a bottle of Cacaonut yesterday and tasted at home immediately. It has a sour aftertaste followed the incredibly sweet initial taste. It says it's a blend of multiple Bruery beers, so perhaps one of the sour beers is the ingredient?

    My experience was out of bottle. Perhaps it it does have a blend of a certain sour. I guess it just wasn't the flavor I expected.

    I had a taster on draft last night and got a lot of tart flavor. My description was a more sour Melange 3 with added sweetness of chocolate and coconut. I was really looking forward to buying a bottle of it but after the taster I opted to not. I couldn't drink more than a taster. It was good for a taster.

    Bourbon barrel aged 5 Golden Rings is a component of Cacaonut, which contains a lot of pineapple. I personally love this beer-- the very slight tartness in the finish helps balance this beer out IMO.

    Not if they just got married this year :slight_smile:

    Funnily enough, I was gifted a bi-monthly (every 2 months) membership to the Beer of the Month club right before my recent wedding, and the second shipment had a bottle of Mariage Parfait. That'll obviously have to be our first year anniversary beer :wink:
