This one was like a sour red currant jam with a good backing of bitterness at the end, for a sour this ticks my boxes; which as you know I’m not really a sour drinker but I’m finding more and more I like.. could this be a new chapter for me?..
This one is on par with some of the offerings ive had from Vault City, maybe the Scotts are just the kings of making sours?
Sam’s Jack ‘O Rating is: 3.5/ 5.0
The glass lies empty… yet something stirs. From the shadows of the cellar, a hiss escapes, and the promise of another cursed brew claws its way closer. Tomorrow, we open the next chapter in our tale of 13 Haunted Beers. Lock your doors, ready your glasses — the horror is only just beginning…
