Corbeaux Collection - Corvus Kriekus Sour Ale

This could be considered our first truly soured fruit beer. We added season peak Washington sourced cherries in two varietals, Chelans and Titans, to barrel aging scotch ale. The cherries were intentionally field direct and added not only fermentables, cherry tannin and color to the beer but also provided the necessary micro-flora to sour the beer. We then blended various barrels to yield a balanced, quaffable, complex and fruity Black Raven first.
