Sour Stouts?

Odin's Tipple is a great stout with a fairly strong sour side.

I had some of this on tap and it is probably still my favorite sour stout. The blueberry is a perfect compliment for a great sour stout! Tart of Darkness and Madrugada Obscura are both great too.

 

is funk metal hard to come by? would love to try it !

 

2009 Abyss

 

Milk stout after an hour in the sun

 

time makes fools of us all

 

I had a 50/50 success rate with mine. Some of the infected ones were drinkable. A couple were really Not !

 

Black Cherry Bomb

 

a new style for me as well, so far my fave is uinita labyrinth black ale, classified as an am. impy

 

Weyerbacher Sour Black is drinking very tart right now. Wish I had more

 

Some cities here in TX might have some bottles hanging around. It stuck around til about a month ago here in fort worth. I haven't seen anymore lately. I went through about a case this year, half being sent to trade partners and half for myself. Its delicious.

 

thats awesome! def wanna trade for that some time in the near future

 

Tart of Darkness and Obscura! Both amazing sour stouts.

 

Came here to say this. Hard to get - I have some if anyone wants any - but from what I've read on here (and my own opinion) it's far and away one of the best out there. It's probably my favorite beer that they make.

EDIT: Went down to JK a month or two ago and they had this at their on-site "pizza-bar" and they had mason jars of Funk Metal for $8. It. Was. Amazing.

 

I imagine within a few months, Funk Metal's taste should be turning decidedly sour rather than stout. It hasn't been out long enough to determine where it'll end up after ~1-2 years, but I have a bottle I'm saving until it's a year old. So I'll update my review of it when that happens. Looking forward to it. It's a great sour stout.

 

Funky Jewbelation is a Fantastic sour BBA and Whiskey BA ale but it pours like a stout !!

 

Tart Side of the Moon was by far the most stout-like sour I've had! It was fantastic! While Tart of Darkness was very good, I found it lacking many real "stout" characteristics other than the color and some slight roastiness... A sour for sure, but a stout... not so sure...

 

Waiting for alysmith4 to comment on this

 

This one might be tricky to get a hold of, as it's a nanobrewery out of Iowa, but it pretty much embodies the style "sour stout". When I tried it, the coffee and dark chocolate notes that are common in stouts were definitely present along with a noticeable sourness.

A local bottle shop here in Kansas City got some of it along with a couple of the other beers from CIB. If they have any left, I could probably get my hands on some for you.

 

I was very fortunate to get Tart of Darkness both in the bottle and on tap at Papagos. It is a totally awesome sour stout and well worth the hunt. It sat on the shelves here at the local TW until they reduced it so I grabbed 2 extra bottles and put them in the cellar. Can;t wait to try one next spring and see what it's done.
