During the 2019 cherry harvest, we processed 3 different varieties of cherries. This blend mainly contains Noordkriek and a small amount of Kelleris. This from local growers in the Antwerp region, a fruit region that has almost completely disappeared but has recently seen some new initiatives. The maturation took place in ex-Bourgogne and ex-Bordeaux casks. The Merlot we used is the barrel aged version of our Pet Bière 2019. After a period of 9 months in an ex-Bourgogne and ex-lambic barrel.
The name of this beer was chosen just a few days before the sale, after a difficult period for many of us. 2020 will go down in history as a Bloedrood (bloody red)/gitzwart year. And also a tribute to the healthcare sector that has given blood, sweat and tears.

Tart and a bit stuffy with some jammy cherries and mild sourness, hints of earthiness and vinous grapes.

Bottle pour at Billie’s, Saturday. The tannins are over the top in this, there’s a hint of smoke too from the wood I suppose and it’s intensely dry too, apart from being funky and slightly citric.

Small pinkish rim over deep purple beer. Deep vinous nose with dark berries, old oakwood, pepper, beeswax. Very vinous flavours with a lot of lactic acid, and no doubt quite some bretts. Red wine, fruitwine. Lipsmacking acidity, certain slickness for such a beer - grapeseed oil? Very good, if not a patch on the Hannibal Lecter.

Drucken på Brewskival 2024. 2021 vintage från flaska. Vinfärgad, fin vinös doft med druvor, körsbär och mycket mustig rödvinskaraktär. Rejält syrlig, lätt acetisk, körsbär, druvskal, kärnor, mandel, tanniner. Kärv men elegant och mycket gott.
