COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Originally brewed as a conceptualization from our friends at the Nachbar....This historical anomaly is one of the only styles of beer indigenous to the USA and it was originally brewed right here in the Bluegrass! Much like our more beloved and covet cousin sour mash bourbon, this ale is brewed in the manner of ’souring the mash’. First we start with a blend of grains similar to your favorite spirit, barley, rye, and corn and we start the sour mash. In that process, we are able to achieve a deliciously complex tart flavor that plays with the spiciness of rye, while finishing with a dry crispness from the corn. Moderately hopped to balance the sweetness of this Kentucky Common, one will get notes of dry fruit, sweet tarts, and hints of tannin from a very small amount of barrel aged character.

Dogbrick (17956) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - OCT 2, 2018
Pours a flat brown-black with a thin light beige head that dissipates quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lace. Aroma of sour fruit, malt, oak and spice. Medium body with flavors of sour berries, caramel malt, oak and spice. The finish is earthy malts and sour fruits. Kind of weird, but decent overall.

jgb9348 (9218) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - SEP 1, 2018
Beer #10 of my #7000 Beer Celebration - 7 on either side of the milestone. Deep dark brown coloured body with a thick, deep tan head, about three centimetres tall at first that dies down to just about nothing a few minutes later. Aroma of slightly tart pitted fruits with a ton of prune, fig, raisin, grape and earthy malt notes with some pecans and other nuts noticeable as well. A touch of peat and lightly smoked malt are also around the edges with a lot of sweetness noticeable and not really any alcohol at all. Medium-bodied; Assertive earthy and nutty malt flavours show at first with a big hit of the pitted fruits, sweet fig and raisin flavours with a dose of pure grapes and even some pears, but a tart blueberry and almost citrus note is noticeable, but this really showcases the malt. Aftertaste is a good deep blend of malts, sugars, yeast and pitted/stone fruits that shows a good tart flavour and some subtle complexities throughout. Overall, a very nice beer that doesn't really show like a 'pure' traditional ale, but fairly close and interesting regardless of the style and good to try if you can find it without spending a ton of money. I sampled this pint-sized, sixteen ounce can purchased from Merchant's in Dearborn, Michigan on 10-December-2016 for US$7,99 (a good deal of money) sampled at home in Washington on 26-August-2018.

13/20 crazy beer. Malty, sour mixed with bourbon barrel aging. Strange mix of flavours but all pleasant. On tap

Heidbummer (1935) - SCOTLAND - MAY 11, 2018
Keg, BD Aberdeen. Weird. Flat, black, no head. Smells of root beer and oak. Quite flat. Almost like a boozy cola with charcoal. Interesting but rather odd.

3.8
tomer (5509) - Rishon Le Zion, ISRAEL - MAY 7, 2018
At a tasting, smallish quickly disapearing head, aroma of nuts, roots and dark sourish bread, flavor of dark bread, minerals and toasty and vanila hints, mellow sourness, Nice and enjoyable, highly original.
