The Blackfoot Vigilambic was brewed in a similar fashion to the Flanders Red Ale. The Vigilambic was fermented and aged in oak barrels with, Lactobacillus, brettanomyces, and Belgian yeast to create a complex, subtly sour beer. The beer is burgundy color with a light tan head. Chocolate and tart cherries dominate the aroma, while the flavor is reminiscent of dried fruits, oranges, chocolate, toffee, and a hint of rasberry with a lasting spicy finish.

Poured into a tulip, first beer at ales for trails. This is very complex and pretty much was just as the notes stated. A burgundy, marron color and a little head. At first smell I knew I was in for something special. This has a lot going on in it. Cherries, chocolate, a slight sour bite and a little sweet malt. Pretty smooth with the sour and tart finish. The bottle a couple different beers a year, I really hope they do this one!
