Roger Groult Calvados Cask #397 Kriek Cask Finish, 7-Year

After a visit to the Cantillon brewery in Brussels, where real fruit is used to produce their kriek—lambic made with sour Morello cherries—Jean-Roger made a deal with the owner Jean Van Roy, who was looking for Calvados barrels in which to age a beer. Groult provided two empty barrels in exchange for two kriek barrels. The second of these barrels was filled in February 2019 with five-year-old Calvados in an effort to focus on the prominent fresh fruit characteristics . It was bottled in January 2021 after a nearly two year long finish.
