While looking for old sherry barrels, we cannot get lucky all the time. While we will be sourcing barrels directlyy from bodegas to assure provenance and quality, we had a batch of Pedro Ximenez (PX) barrels that was on the peated side (albeit subdued). As a result, we decided not to use them for Zenne y Frontera, but to blend them with other fruit lambikken into geuze and fruit blends. This is the first of such blends to be released. Sour cherries were macerated partly on young peated lambik and partly on two-year old straight lambik in a stainless steel tank. We blended with young and three-year old lambik. 55% of the blend is old lambik and the final fruit intensity is 567 grams of sour cherries per liter.

2019/20 bottle. Hazy red color with no head. Aroma is big cherries, lemon. Taste is cherries, cherry stone, almonds, sour finish. A tiny bit of carbonation. On the sour side, but I like the balance! Very nice, but one to share.

Sweetish, slightly sour and heavy with some tart cherries, vinous sherry notes and hints of peaty woody notes. Quite intense and complex, nice

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany with a tiny beige head. Aroma reveals very deep pitted cherries, a hint of sherry oxidation, and very subdued earthy funk. Flavour is much the same, with deep pitted cherries, puckering acidity, some earthiness, no real hint of funk. Very deep, sour, acidic cherries. I honestly don't perceive the sherry. Good but less good than original Intense Red.

750ml bottle I picked up at Craft Beer Cellar in DC. Dark garnet amber.  Cherry and funk and some sherry and smoke.  Flavor is so much cherry and raspberry. Barrel is overwhelmed in many ways by all that fruit. Jammy.  Full bodied, tart, great body.  8 3 8 5 15
