This collaboration with The Hanging Bat in Edinburgh is based on a traditional Flanders Red aged in a red wine demi barrique.
The contents of this barrel were perpetually blended to create an exceptionally complex beer, as it is a mixture of three-, two- and one-year old beers fermented with a wide variety of microbes, including spontaneous cultures and sherry flor.
The beer was then split to create two batches.
Hail the Bat I
This batch was refermented in steel with a small quantity of pressed sour cherry juice (total 50g/l) in order to retain and emphasise the character of the base beer.
Hail the Bat II
This batch was refermented in steel with Scottish Tayberries (400g/l), grown within 20 miles of our brewery in Dundee.
