Pie in the Sky - Stout

The English expression "Pie in the Sky" is used for all things that are beautiful - and those that are too beautiful to be true For beautiful pipe dreams, for example

Fortunately, the beer called Pie in the Sky is not a pipe dream but a reality in the flesh The brewers at BrewDog's Overworks branch in Ellon have turned their wildest fantasies into a beer Pie in the Sky is a sour stout brewed with sour cherries and vanilla and is almost too good to be true

The mahogany-colored beer shimmers a beautiful ruby red in the light and is crowned with a small, fine amount of hazelnut-brown foam A strong aroma emerges from the head and tickles the nose with seductive notes of freshly picked sour cherries, spicy vanilla and the brewery's own yeast The first sip presents a voluminous beer with a wonderfully dark aroma A finely tart taste of juicy cherries meets strong roasted aromas, If Pie in the Sky were a cake, it would probably be a Black Forest gateau Velvety, sweet, fruity, chocolaty and nutty, the beer caresses the palate, with a hint of vanilla and an omnipresent acidity skillfully rounding off the extraordinary taste experience

We'll pluck the cake from the sky for you
