Cherry & Sherry, the recipe was devised by our production manager Nikola and is based on the classic German Schwarzlwald dessert. This is very, very special. Pretty much all of our team have been blown away by this oak aged beer as it rattled off our bottling line.

A very unusual imperial stout, but what do you expect from the Abstrakt series? The nose is stupendous, featuring leather, wood and some cherry booziness. The colour is near black with (typically) almost no carbonation.
Guess what, the taste profile is complex. Sour cherries sit up front, supported by dark leather, liquorice, woodiness and ripe dark berries. A significant acidity overpowers whatever sweetness existed from the cherries and sherry casking. A touch of booze helps balance the sourness and tougher tastes of wood and leather. A challenging sipper, but a worthwhile investment nonetheless.

Flaske - #5663 - spandert av Rune. Delt med ham og djoeye hos førstnevnte 1 Aug 17. Svart. Skum langs glasset. Kompleks aroma. Som konfekt. Smaken en overdose av whisky & frukt. Alkoholen godt integrert.

(Bottle) Black colour with no head. Malty, roasted, vinous nose with notes of liquorice, dried fruit (figs, dates, raisins), tamarind, burnt sugar, hints of coconut, soy sauce and caramel. Malty, vinous taste with sweet liquorice, black coffee, sour cherries, dried figs, raisins, burnt sugar, coconut and vinous hints of sherry in a finish with a mild bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. A bit harsh and unbalanced, but really tasty. Nice one.

375ml cradle and wire cork bottle stored in my cellar for a few yeast. A few bubbles on the top of a jet black body. No lacing. Confectionery smell, very inviting. some impact of oak and dried fruits. Well blended taste of dark fruits, confectionery chocolate and oak. Sherry like impression. Full bodied. Velvety in the mouth. Delicious slow sipper. (Joint session with Finn and djoeye, Tromsø 01.08.2017).

From the very old notes, hence this is not a real rating, but more just a mark to myself that I have tried this at one point. Actually I don’t need notes to remember this one. It was one of my favorite beers. It had really really nice mix of cherries, sherry whisky with some raisins and caramel thrown in. I would really like to try it again to see if it lives up to the memories.
