Duchesse Chocolate Cherry is the traditional Duchesse de Bourgogne Flanders Red – a blend of 1 and 2 year old sour ales aged in oak casks – with 20 kg of whole sour cherries from the Limburg region of Belgium added to each 100 liters of the maturing beer, along with chocolate essence.
The beer pours a clear, dark reddish brown with a small pinkish tan head with aromas of tart sour cherries, bread, cocoa, toffee, and vanilla. On the palate, the predominant taste is cherry and chocolate, with a not-too-sweet chocolate aftertaste.
Food Pairings – like Duchesse de Bourgogne, it pairs well with buttery cheeses, spicy peppers, and roasted meats. It would be the perfect beer to match with (or feature in) a sorbet; also goes well with rich and dense chocolate desserts.
