We macerated local tart cherries of the Gorsem varietal (at a ratio of 300gr/l) for 2 months in a beer brewed one year before. Bottled in February 2020.

Pours dark red to pink in color with a solid, lighter pink head.
Sun ripened cherries, smoky cherry pith, as well as a sugared Amarena ice cream quality define the aromas among additional leather, dusty cupboard and grinded garden herbs.
Has a refreshing, lighter body with a well fitting lower initial carbonation, which bubbles up immediately after the swallow.
Tastes of wet earth, old grains and a lemony tartness, which all get gently put in the background by a lovely and tremendously complex cherry fruitiness. Soft layers of lusciously sweet and rich cherries slowly build up on the palate, bringing a well rounded tartness with them, just to emphasize a unique and well working, flowery smokiness. The spicy, smooth sweetness of the beer flawlessly blends into the old, wooden barrel it matured in, creating a funky, strawy and long lasting tartness, which highlights the depth and flavor intensity of the fruits marvelously well.
Good cherry lambics are hard to describe, since they are about, you guessed it, cherries. This isn’t different in this regard. It is just so much more complex and satisfying than any other kieken beer I’ve had so far.
