Commercial Description:
Monks Uncle Tripel that was fermented with Brettanomyces yeast, along with the addition of 60 pounds of local organic Bing cherries per cask that were added at the peak of Washington State cherry season in June 2009. Since then, the cuveé has been aging in Washington State Cabernet wine casks. XXX Kriek will be available on draft at the pub and at Brouwers Sour Beer Festival during Seattle Beer Week 2010.

On tap at Pike’s anniversary birthday party, thin off white head fades quickly, leaving excellent lacing above an amber-cherry red body. Real cherries in the aroma. Delivers the fresh Washington organic cherries in spades. There’s a bit of Brett sourness blended with the fruit, but it’s more strong ale than lambic in character. Cherries, cherries, and cognac to the taste, with oak, roasted caramel, and almost hidden hop bitterness till the aftertaste. They done this one right. I’ll be watching for it at Bottleworks Sourfest next year.

Bone dry Tripel aroma, little sweet fruit on the nose, strawberry and cherry. Clear pinkish red, not much of a head. Light bodied, soft chewy brett character coupled with a tartness that reminds me of 100% cranberry juice. Shame the keg blew so quickly, I’ll seek out the others.
