Black Project CYGNUS: Blend A 2019

CYGNUS is a blend of three years of traditional, Lambic-inspired, coolship spontaneous ale that follows the Méthode Traditionnelle guidelines. The blended base beer was refermented with whole Montmorency and Balaton cherries. The pits were left in to add complexity. After several months of aging the beer on cherries in oak barrels, the beer was removed and stored. Then, a second running of beer was placed onto the cherries. More base beer was added to the cherries, extracting more color and a milder nuanced flavor.
