Cerise Cassée is a complex beer in both process and palate. Multiple fermentations begin in stainless steel with our house ale yeast, then spontaneous refermentation and aging along with 300 pounds of sour cherries takes place in the infamous CBC barrel cellar.

Had this on Memorial Day at CBC on a really unseasonably warm day. This really hit the spot and I thought it was their best ofering that day. It is also great to se more breweries tackling this tough style- which I love. Poured a murky orange/brown with a decent head and lacing. The head faded to a ring and stayed that way for the life of the beer. Really nice aromas of tart cherries, and there is a slightly acetic quality that marries with some sweet oak and even some light vanilla and cocoa notes. The taste has a nice balance between sour cherry an oak with some malt and sherry notes underneath. The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp but with a creamy finish. It would score a bit higher here, but it drops off a bit at the end. A very nice ofering. Not quite world class, but very solid.

Appearance: Arrives the color of a bold Cabernet with a one finger head; spotty lacing
Smell: Dark cherry, raisin and caramel
Taste: Dark cherry forward, bringing both sweet and lactic sour notes; the caramel tones underneath hold together with the fruit; oaky and tannic, after the swallow and into the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A brash wild ale with a strong vinous aspect
