Merry Merry is a dark strong ale, aged for a few months in bourbon and white wine barrels, then blended and bottle conditioned. It tastes of bright plum, bakers cocoa, vanilla, brown sugar, strawberry candy, and finishes dry with a moderate sourness.

This is by far the highest-ABV brew I have had from Fermentary Form. Aged in bourbon and wine barrels, but I only get the wine part... Nice, bubbly and well-rounded; drinkable as well. Raisin, dark fruit, brown sugar and all that comes with a Belgian Dark Strong Ale. It gets kind of uninteresting after a while... but overall is a nice brew.

$6/9 oz. on tap at the blendery on 3 February 2018
Notes: "A strong dark ale aged in bourbon and white wine barrels". Very deep mahogany brown, almost black in color. Short head of tan foam. Decent head retention and lacing for a sour beer. The aroma is vinous with some additional non-distinct but dark skinned fruits. The flavor is tart, even very tart, but not quite sour, at least not bitingly so. Notes of plum, dark raisin, red berries, tanned leather, wet straw, and soft cocoa. It's funkiness is right on, not too much and not too little. Very nicely balanced between malt and fruit/funk. Some oak comes through as well, and perhaps just a light touch of vanilla. Medium-light in body with a gentle tingle from a very fine-bubbled median carbonation. Exceptional!
