Deep Meditation Barrel Aged Sour Imperial Saison With Cherry

Deep Meditation, our first fruited barrel aged sour, is our brewmaster's exercise in complexity and harmony. Various batches of our imperial saison were allowed to ferment and sour in our Virginia Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay barrels. We then blended 100 day old and 150 day old batches together on Valentine's day on top of sweet cherry, then fed the blend some actively fermenting saison to give it a wide variety of sugars. Aged on the cherry for over two months, this beer pours a beautiful crimson red with an aroma of peppery saison yeast, restrained barnyard funk from our Brett, and deep, jammy cherry. Dry and acidic, but with a pleasant bready malt character and subtle fruity sweetness, this beer is perfect for any time of year. Show Less
