This Belgian-style beer was fermented out completely without fruit in a unitank, then transferred to a French-oak cask. Two pounds of sour red cherries were added per gallon, and a slurry of Brettanomyces yeasts, Lactobacillus and Pediococcus bacteria. The beer spent 8 months on fruit, then aged in the bottle for an additional several months.
