In 2016 we imported 650 Schaarbeekse cherry trees from Belgium. Our hopes was to get a decent yield of Schaarbeekse in 2018. But that proved to be difficult. In 2018 we had a drought. In 2019 the trees was still recovering from the year before. In 2020 one third of our trees froze. But in 2021 we finally managed to harvest enough cherries to produce a batch of kriek. And this is it. Loads of cherries added to a blend of two different batches of 2018 coolship beer.

Bottle, 375ml, at the brewery taproom. A lightly hazy deep red beer with a dense, finger thick pink head. Some lacing. The aroma isn't super complex, but intensely cherry-ish, with hints of wood, almond and vanilla. Lemon hints, and a very light funkyness. It's full bodied, acidic but with a good sweetness, nicely carbonated and with a touch of tannins. Cherry dominated flavor, with a light lemony funk, wood, vanilla and a hint of vinegar. Everlasting cherry finish with some lemon hints. Delicious indeed. Wonderful. 220702

Tap at TCBW. Deep red colour and small pinky head. Strong fresh cherry in the nose. Medium-bodied. Extreme cherry, taste, some tartness. Very good.
