Sauerland Cool & Dark Decoction - Sour beer

The Sauerland series from Freigeist Bierkultur consists of the beers Plastic Jug Band and Cool & Dark Decoction Both beers appear in elegant 0.75 l bottles and matured to their full splendor in former wine barrels after the brewing process was completed Sebastian Sauer also brought fantastic brewing colleagues on board for both creations

For Cool & Dark Decoction, the brewer teamed up with his friends from the Pizza Port Brewing Company in San Diego Together, the resourceful hop heads created a dark sour fermented in a refrigerated ship that impresses with its wonderful acidity and great fruit flavors

Cool & Dark Decoction flows into the glass in a cloudy amber hue and exudes a seductive aroma of wine barrel, caramel malt and sour dark grapes The first sip reveals a light-footed body with a voluminous taste and a subtle balance of sweetness and acidity Fruity notes of rhubarb, blackcurrant and red grapes caress the palate, while the malt contributes soft caramel notes and spicy honey The barrel maturation enriches the aroma with notes of rum-soaked raisins and dry oak The finish tastes of sour grapes and lingers on the tongue for a long time with a dry finish
