Foeder aged dark ale refermented with local Stevnsbær Cherries for 8 weeks inside one of our French oak fruiting tanks. With some cherry kernels exposed, a marzipan-like perfume adds delicacy to this beer.
BBD: 17/02/25.
The marzipan note from the cherry kernels really comes through on the nose before the tart fruit hits your tongue. Eight weeks in that oak tank gave it a smooth, mellow finish that makes the dark ale dangerously easy to sip. Glad I grabbed a few bottles before they disappeared.
The cherry kernels are such a clever touch—that subtle marzipan perfume really does come through, softening the dark ale's edge. Eight weeks in that oak tank must be the secret, because it's drinking beautifully right now.
The French oak fruiting tank really lets the cherries shine through—that 8-week refermentation gives it a tartness that cuts the dark ale's richness perfectly. The marzipan undertone from the kernels is subtle but keeps me coming back for another sip.
