American sour with dates. The mouthof a perfectly contented man is filled with beer. Sikaru was a beer brewed thousands of years ago by the Sumerians. I learned of how this beer was made, it struck me how similar it was to the Belgian lambic process. I read that Sikaru was commonly fruited with dates and decided to add dates to a couple of our young lambic-style sour barrels. 100lbs of dates went into each barrel and with all that additional sugar it took an additional 6 months to finish and resulted in a high ABV beer. Treat this like a big barleywine. Lay one down to mellow for a few years and enjoy with friends!
