In the Surly brewhouse, brewing our anniversary beers means one thing: forget what ya know and try something different. In honor of five glorious years, we bring you a 100% Brettanomyces-fermented Dark Ale, aged in red wine barrels. Flavors of sour cherry, tobacco, oak, and classic “Brett” barnyard funk, balanced by Dark Munich malt chewiness. Enjoy immediately or age at cellar temperature for a couple years. Five has strong flavors of earthy black cherry and raisins with a sour finish.
