This is not my recipe, I had the pleasure of trying this beer of Mike's and knew immediately I want to brew it, or something close to it. The recipe details/etc. are here:

My only changes were to only use Dark Candi Syrup, and I'm using Brett L & C and maybe dumping the dreggs of an Orval in there too for Brett B. I also unintentionally mashed lower, it was cooold outside.
The beer is essentially a Quad you ferment with a belgian strain through primary fermentation, then rack onto cherries and add Brett. Mike's was not as funky as he or I would have liked, but still and AMAZING beer with huge complexity. He said that the funkiness has faded a bit as the beer has matured. Hopefully the Brett L will add a bit more funk. I look forward to tasting this one 6-9+ months or so.
