Cherry-coloured Funk 750ml bottle
[Cherry-coloured Funk by Cocteau Twins plays in the background]
In the cellar of the sonic cathedral occupied by Scotland’s finest purveyors of graceful, ethereal dream pop lies old Speyside whisky barrels. Each cask has a story, each one filled with 90/- ale aged on a mixed culture. We all go cherry picking from the trees behind the cathedral; blood red juice dripping from our hands. We’ll use this juice to add a sweet/sour intensity to the wee heavy.
This might all sound like a dream and an oaky, sweet, tart, funky, mixed fermentation cherry ale might sound like a dream beer. But if this is a dream, then wouldn’t you have woken up when the cork popped?

Cherry-coloured Funk 750ml bottle
This tasted darn fine to me, cherry not overpowering which was good. (Chris D, UNTAPPD)
Reassuringly complex and funky. Cherry is present but by no means overpowering. Worth saving, and savouring. (Rod R, UNTAPPD)
Great mixed ferm cherry 90/- from Tempest. Cherry shows up at the front but never overpowers the flavour. More of the amber and caramel flavours on the back end with a hint of bitter liquorice. (Colm H, UNTAPPD)
Delicious, barrel aged cherry thing, hints of bitter dark chocolate. (Feorag, UNTAPPD)
