Sour cherry and chocolate Belgian-inspired ale. Secondary fermented in the kegs with Brettanomyces "Brett" yeast. This beer has been aged for six months to allow the Brett to do its thing. The result is a lighter, sharper, funkier tasting beer than the original version.

KeyKeg at the 2017 Cambridge Beer Festival. Dark brown and murky with a bit of beige head. The cherry is quite pronounced in the aroma; there’s some funk but it’s soft and not obtrusive. The sweet taste is balanced rather than cancelled out by the funkiness, with a sour note staying on the middle of the tongue long past the sip. More cherry and some chocolate on the aftertaste. This adds a subtle dimension to the original recipe. The flavours come out that little bit more. Glad I got to try it.
