Siren Craft Brew Caribbean Salted Cherry Chocolate Cake

"One of two wildcards this year is a very special Salted Cherry edition, you could say this is a coming together of a Caribbean Chocolate Cake and a Black Forest Gateau. With slightly less cacao than the original, the beer opens up to allow the cherry to come through. We’re using a blend of Montmorency, Morello and Balaton cherries which add acidity and tartness along with the delicious compote vibe, with everything then lifted again by Pink Himalayan Sea Salt. The combination of ingredients is playful on the palate, with each element taking turns to lure you into thinking it’s the star of the show. We love how salt changes the expression of the chocolate, while also changing the mouthfeel of the beer in a great way." BBD is October 2024
