Cognac Morello Cherry | 2021 Harvest

Cognac Morello Cherry | 2021 Harvest started as a two-year blend of traditional spontaneous batches brewed during the Spring 2018, Spring 2020, and Fall 2020 brewing seasons aged in a combination of Cognac and Pineau des Charentes casks. The blend had an average age of 16 months when fruited with sour morello cherries that we picked up from Fix Brothers Farms in Hudson, NY directly in oak and filled with the Cognac & PDC two-year blend and allowed the beer to condition for approximately 7 months. Cognac Morello Cherry was bottled in March of 2022 and further conditioned in the bottle and is now ready to enjoy. This beer pours with a brilliant deep red color presenting a range of cherry aromatics and flavors combining cherry fruit jam with light tannin and marzipan character pushed forward by a medium plus acidity level and ending with a very clean and refreshing minerality.
