Forgotten Bottle Society 4/10: Tarte Cerises began with a golden sour base that was then aged in oak barrels on one pound of cherries per gallon along with Tahitian vanilla beans and cinnamon sticks. For added complexity, this sour was packaged still and bottle conditioned for six weeks. The end result is a beer with layer upon layer of funky flavor that drinks like a fresh slice of cherry pie.

750ml bottle.
Color of the body depends upon whether the beer sits outside of the light or is held up to the light. The base color is pale gold, with a heavy tint of cherry red. Upon pouring there is a half of a finger of fizzy white head, which quickly disappears. No lacing.
Aroma is sour with a mix of tart cherry fruit and the sweeter vanilla. I get more graham cracker than cinnamon stick.
Taste is very sour, and ends quite dry. There is bit of wild yeast funk, but the main flavors are cherry and vanilla. Again the cinnamon is barely a mention.
Medium mouth feel, with a bit of syrup. There is a brief mouth burn with each sip, which could be from the cinnamon.
Almost achingly sour, but once the mouth acclimates, the fruit and vanilla meld well to provide an enjoyable flavor. Much more complex than a kettle sour.
