Eartha 2015

Dark strong ale fermented in a Chianti foudre with 500 kg of cherries added in the summer of 2016. Dark red-brown with a tightly knit, dusty pink head. Complex aroma of rose petals, vanilla, overripe cherries and a hint of strawberry. More cherry follows up in the flavor and is complemented by caramelized sugar, bread crust and fruity tartness. Medium bodied and effervescent with mid-palate bitterness. Finish is warming alcohol, lingering acidity and bitter almond.
