Perhaps it was a way to motivate us into producing beer, or maybe it was a desperate hint at a Birthday gift. Either way, David Walker cornered us one day and asked for a sour cherry fermented beer for his 50th birthday. Nothing more was said, but we took note and the opportunity to create something new. On the occasion of David’s golden jubilee, we celebrate his mid-life mortality check with Walker’s Krieky Bones! This beer begins its life as a Flanders Red style beer aged eight months in a 2200 gallon French Oak Foeder, sour cherries were added and allowed a secondary fermentation. The aroma is of cherry pie complete with flavors of piecrust and spicy notes. Vienna malt notes give way to assertive acidity and firm carbonation to finish. A santé and happy 50th birthday David!

A reddish orange copper Kriek with a thin white head. In aroma, wonderful mix of maraschino cherries, light vanilla, wooden notes, light lactic notes, very classic. In mouth, a nice sweet cherry with light acidity, light Brett, some astringent notes, light horse blanket, very beautiful. On tap at Propagator location.

(On tap @ MBCC 2017 Blue Session, Copenhagen) Pours clear orange-red with a whitish head. Notes of malt with a bit of caramel sweetness, tart cherry, soft citrus, fairly strong oak, a bit of wet earthy funky Brett, acidic lemon juice and vinegar touches, soft marzipan/cherry pit notes. Moderately sour, finishing softly sour and somewhat dry with some tannic oak, cherry and cherry pit flavour. Light to medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Quite solid cherry sour with some malt stuffing, doesn't jump out at you but nothing off about it either.
