Our previous 2-Year fruited Méthode Traditionnelle blend, So Last Season: Montmorency Cherry, spent an additional year in fresh Family Jones Rye Whiskey barrels. Colorado Alfalfa Honey was used as the priming sugar for bottle conditioning.

This beer delivers a complex nose of sun-ripened cherry and big holiday baking spice. The taste follows with Grandma's whiskey-laced cherry pie. A moderately tannic structure counterbalances fruit sweetness and a bold spirit-like warming sensation. In this three-year oak-matured release inspired by our favorite Oude Krieks, the combination of fruit, Brett funk, and Rye-whiskey characteristics are engaging your senses to remind you that much like your favorite pair of denim, some styles are timeless.

Bottle pour into a taster glass.
Dark rich red color with a pink soapy ring quickly forming a collar around the edge. Nose and palate are tart cherry, prune, and whisky, with a very faint sweetness in the background. Mouthfeel is moderate to full and tastefully carbonated.

I really enjoyed this take on an oude kriek aged in whiskey barrels. The individual flavors were both present and enjoyable in there own right, but combined to bring this cherry pie / fruit cake spiciness that added additional depth of flavor.
