Sour Cherry Flanders Red

1.) February 14, 2009 - I brewed my first batch of Flanders Red
2.) March 10, 2009 - I racked it to secondary
3.) April 15th, 2009 - I think I witnessed some funk
4.) May 5th, 2009 - I added some oak chips
5.) May 2nd, 2010 - I split the batch in two and added cherries to half
6.) May 16th, 2010 - I thought I observed a new pellicle / pelicle, but really I think it was just floaters from the Cherry
7.) July 29th, 2010 - I bottled the Cherry'ed Flanders Red (26 bottles)
     - FG: 1.008 > primed w/ 2 oz of table sugar for 2.2 volumes of CO2

The aroma immediataly struck me as Flanders Red.  I'll update when I taste it and hopefully will be able to report the same.
