For the cherry beer, the cherries were freshly picked for us direct from the farm, then de-stemmed and hand crushed at the brewery. By infusing 1.5 tonnes of whole cherries, it delivered a briskly tart and fruity beer with a hint of almond to finish.
We then set about blending barrels of Modus Operandi with barrels of our cherry beer, ending up with a 75/25 split of Modus Operandi / Cherry. The result is an amalgamation of complexities and layers from the variety of different barrels used, with the cherries bringing a punchy juiciness and a succulence to finish.

750ml bottle - Pours a hazy mahogany brown colour with an average sized fizzy tan head that quickly disappeared. The aroma is cherry, balsamic, and wood with some chocolate notes. A tart fruity taste, vinegar, cherry, lactic and woody flavours with a drying and fruity sour finish.

Bottle courtesy of SimonTomlinson via one of the EU2019 trades. Labeled Modus Operandi, but same brewer, ABV and description. Deep auburn with a frothy head that soon fizzes away. Big oak aroma. Underneath.. cherries and toffee. Taste has a mild, oak bitterness up front, turning abruptly tart and then sour. Underneath the whole time is a caramel sweetness. Rich and flavorful. Medium to full bodied, moderate carbonation. Good stuff.
