A Note on This Beer

Whether you’ve tasted this world-class pucker from The Rare Barrel before, or it’s your first introduction, Ensorcelled Barrel-Aged Dark Sour Beer is the type of brew that’ll elevate your stash (and palate) to a whole new level.

There’s so much praise for this tart dessert brew, we had to make a list to capture it all:

  • A whopping 4.35 rating on Untappd!
  • Gold Medal and Silver Medals at the World Beer Cup!
  • A Silver Medal at GABF!
  • One of BeerAdvocate’s Top 100 Wild Ales in the World!


Behind all the acclaim is a smoothly crafted Sour Ale with nuances of dark chocolate mousse and over a pound of raspberries per gallon! 

A colossal amount of jammy decadence coats the 7.9% ABV in every sip. And, 9 months of aging in oak barrels adds woody, vinous depth, showing The Rare Barrel’s expertise and why Ensorcelled deserves its stupendous reputation.

One taste, and we bet you’ll be calling up all your friends shouting, “Oh man, you’ve got to try this!” 

But, since brews like this never venture far from Southern California, you’ll consider yourself blessed to have this fascinating funk all for your own.

2020 Vintage rated 4.44 on Untappd; 96/100 on BeerAdvocate; 96/100 on Craft Beer & Brewing

I haven't had a sour that I like yet. However every now and again I like to try one just to see if it can change my mind. This one did not. So take my review with a grain of salt because I am very bias.

My first dark sour. Different than I expected. Nice fruit flavor, but overpowered me with its tartness. It was like a liquid sour patch kid. If you love the candy you’ll likely love this beer.
