Commercial Description:
A barrel aged sour beer. In Bourbon cask for over a year this beer has some funky tart flavors, plus the addition of cherries complements the bourbon and oak flavors from the cask. Definitely a different type of beer for those looking to explore the “wild” side of what beer should be.

On tap at Winter Beer Festival. Pours a black color with a fairly nice off-white head. Aroma is full of tart cherries. You can smell the cherries way before you put the beer anywhere close to your nose. Bourbon and oak aromas also hit the nose once the beer is lifted to the nose. Flavor is predominately tart cherries which taste as though they have been soaked in bourbon for a long while. Flavors of oak and alcohol hit the tongue as well. A nice surprise beer at the Winter Beer Festival.

From Washington Winter Beer Fest. Black with nice creamy head. Cherry, bourbon and roasted malt. Wonderful aroma. Cherry is a bit overpowering in the taste. Alcohol isn’t hidden at all. Not overly sour. Nice attempt and a pleasure to try, but could definitely be tweaked if tried again.
