Bandit Brewery
Anomaly Sour Stout With Cherries
Can’t decide on a sour or a stout? At Bandit Brewery you can have your cake and eat it too with their sour cherry stout. Pouring a rich dark brown with ruby red highlights, this stout evokes the flavours of a black forest cake; dark chocolate, dark roast coffee and soft cherry.

A hopped sour beer aged with Niagara cab franc skins and Montmorency sour cherries -- reminiscent of wild strawberries and cherry pie.
