Commercial Description:
Leftovers ... We aged some Chuck (sort of a brown-bretty) in wooden barrels with sour cherries for six months. It emerged with a somewhat subdued brett presence but tastes more like a flemish sour. 6.4% abv. (33 cases in 750ml)

Bottled. A slightly hazy deep red beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is very special with a mixture of cinnamon, violet, cloves, berries, and alcohol. The flavor is slightly acidic with strong notes of berries and spices as well as lighter notes of alcohol, wood, and metal. The acidity is very bret like.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a hazy, reddish brown with a yellowish head. Fantastic aroma of oak and vanilla. Medium-bodied with lightly sour accents and an edge of oak. Quite interesting. 240706

Bottled. Hazy reddish brown. Wonderful lactic acidity in the nose with vague notes of sour cherries. Light, rounded malt profile. There’s perfumy notes as well as rosehip. Unfortunately the promising aroma doesn’t really carry over into the flavour and it all fizzes out a bit quick. But what an aroma...

Dark amber colour. Very hazy. Slight oaky, cherryish, rodenbachy aroma. Very light body and restrained flavour. Hints of cherry. Not much backing the oak and cherry up (malt and mouthfeel I’m looking for) and even the most up-front flavours lack conviction. Oh well, you don’t always succeed every time you experiment.

(11/3/07, 750ml bottle, thanks eclectic) Minimal beige head with clear copper body. Aroma is medium sweet, brett, caramel, brown sugar, some cherry, light Bourbon, cinnamon. Taste is medium sweet, brett/cherry, caramel. Medium body with no carbonation. Alas, I fear that this beer is showing its age.
