A Note on This Beer

MATADOR waves its scarlet flag of tart raspberry and sweet strawberry juiciness in front of thirsty Sour lovers like a matador would a bull. Capture a can, and your tastebuds will feel like they’ve been whisked off to summer in Seville!

To make this Fruited Sour, the GABF-winners at Black Project used their painstakingly time-consuming Solera process. This involves blending various pre-aged Sours together, then cask-aging once more — creating one delightfully complex, funky fusion. 

Then, they refermented it on piles of real strawberries and fresh red raspberries, before adding a hint of bittersweet subtlety with cacao nibs. So, every sip has a rich whisper of chocolate-covered berries.

Those who’ve snagged a sip drape this prize fighter with a galant 4.2-UT rating! One happy taster even proclaims, “WOW. One of the best wild ales I’ve had!”

Bursting red-berry juice flamencos across the taste buds, its spritzy effervescence tingling like warm Barcelona sunshine. No travel plans, no problem with this sumptuous Spanish Sangria-like Sour!

Plus, it clocks a light and refreshing 6.32% ABV so sippers can enjoy a couple cans without the red-wine headache. Ole!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

The fruit is nice but wasn’t a fan of the cocoa, gave it a weird finish. One of the only Black Project brews I didn’t really like

I love Black Project, but this is my least favorite one. Has a slightly off flavor, probably from the cacao nibs, that overshadows the fruit.

Really not a fan of this. It's has an after taste similar to the smell of bandaids. I don't know if it is the nibs, or a wild yeast thing, but it is not for me.

Very fruity but to acidic for me. Super funky for those super sourheads. Not tasting the cocoa nibs at all. I think it would have rounded this one out for me if they were present.

Another great release from Black Project. The sour is all there and the fruits really come through. The tartness comes from the raspberries and the sweet fruitiness as well as lingering flavors primarily come from the strawberries. You do taste a bit of the raspberries in the aftertaste, but the cocoa nibs distract that flavor a bit. Overall really enjoyable.

This is my style. More like a saison or lambic. Not as fruity, more sour and there is lingering bitter from the nibs. Not thick or slushy like, much more like an ale.
