Finally!! On 8/3/22 this beast was yanked from Lil' Le' Arthur and placed on 1lb toasted coconut & banana chips and 1/2lb of raw coconut chips. Finishing at 1.012+0.000 @61F gives it a smooth almost pirate-like sought after quality of 9.45%! This is another excellent brainchild of the FBC trust. It'll be entered into Hoppy Halloween to see if it trades swashbuckling blows as well as previous entries. The nose is aromatic of light bourbon wood and Malibu rum while the quaff allows light notes of banana to ooze through. I mean hot damn, it only took a year and about a 20% loss.

Brew Batch #171 Mercy Bo Coupe
Ok so, live and learn. Found the Goodbelly I used to use as my souring agent and did everything the same BUT when adding the dark sweet cherry puree picked up a little infection. Cold crashed, kegged and put with 2oz of lime extract. It's got good head, but this'll definitely be a "do over". It smells a touch phenolic and isopropyl but tastes like a light cherry limeade wild sour if that makes sense. FG 1.004+0.001 @69F. 3.86%. Getting a mega 05 pitch from the local brewery to make sure this doesn't happen again.
