For Blend #2, we chose a blend of not only our “Flanders - Inspired” red beer, but also used a touch of our French Oak Foedre Beer, a beer that lays the base for Fuzzy, and has been aging via a solera method for more than 5 years now. This blend was then moved to Missouri Oak and aged atop more than 3000 lbs of Oregon blackberries from our friends at Decker Farms. The blend and the blackberries were combined in April of 2018 and allowed to re-ferment for almost a year before being bottle-conditioned prior to release.

Appearance - The beer was reddish purple in color, with light carbonation noted.
Smell - The nose was like sweet blackberry jam. There was little sourness in the nose.
Taste - In the initial taste, there was tons of blackberry. It was like blackberry jam, but progressively more sour toward the finish. There was a hint of funk before a lingering tart dry finish.
Mouthfeel - The body was a bit sticky with light carbonation. The dry finish clung to the roof of the mouth.
Overall - This was a very accessible, even for those that don’t like sours.

Blend #1, on tap at the cellar. Nice and tart. Just funky enough. Wine barrels did this well. Quite enjoyable. Would really like to contract with Blend #2 eventually.
