Werecat, from Toronto’s Blood Brothers Brewing, is a barrel-aged sour brown ale. The beer, which comes in 500mL bottles with spooky and gorgeous labels, weighs in at a robust 8.7%. It’s a dark brown ale with ruddy highlights, and it pours with a fast-receding off-white head.
Werecat has tart, winey aromatics, buttressed with woody sweetness. The flavour incorporates notes of molasses and muscovado sugar, tart cherries, wood, and booze.
This was an extremely enjoyable ale. I think that brown ales barrel age very well generally, and this one was executed nicely. And the sour elements were deftly balanced—present and pleasant, but not overpowering.
Rating: 9.0 out of 10.
