After being double barrel-aged in spent Derivation barrels over the course of more than 4 years and being infused with Michigan Balaton Cherries twice, we are happy to have Blend #3 ready to share with you.

Black & Wild began as a challenge to produce a black sour that I enjoyed. For me, black wild ales and wild ales over 10% ABV often strike my palate with too much force. Black & Wild was my challenge to change things up, not only for me, but for our Side Project lineup of beers. With a very soft, but black malt bill, aged in spent bourbon barrels that housed Derivation (double barrel-aged for more than 4 years) and re-fermented on Balaton Cherries twice, Black & Wild Blend #3 provides a rich, chocolatey palate with notes of vanilla and bourbon and finishes with tart cherries.
