A Flanders Style Brown Ale
We took Chomo-lung-ma (our organic honey nut brown) and aged it in a second generation Woodford Reserve barrel (subtle bourbon flavor, notes of American oak) for four months with 30lbs of tart cherries and a specially blended culture of wild yeast and beer souring bacteria. Chunga’s Old Bruin exhibits and aroma of sweet cherries and faint chocolate/ roasted malt complemented by a faint oak bouquet. The flavor has a pronounced sour character with the caramel, chocolate, and roasted malt finish.

Bomber. Pours a dark red/brown color with a medium white head. The aroma has that distinct rotting fruit nose that I’ve noticed in only a few beers, most notably the Don Quixote. A smooth sour cherry flavor with some brown malt and lots of tannins/oak. Pretty nice, very smooth.

Bottle shared by Sean, thanks! Poured a dark ruby red with a brown head that dissipated completely. Aroma was quite sour with red fruits and a bit of backing grain and bread. Flavor was similar with sour red fruits throughout with a hint of backing bread.

Bottle @ Papsø-Grand-Tasting, September 2010. Pours unclear amber with a red hew and a small white head. Complex nose. A bit or roast, chocolate, caramel and some brett beneath. Dry and earthy roasted flavor with a bit of ash and sour cherries. Dry end. Different and interesting!
