The flavour of Timmermans Oude Kriek, refermented in the bottle, is without comparison. The cherries from which it derives its taste and colour it features traditionally come from Schaerbeek. Slightly acidic and with a wonderful bouquet, this natural and hence unpredictable brew requires careful handling throughout its long maturation period. Created from a blend of old and young lambic, Timmermans Oude Kriek keeps for 12 years. Like Timmermans Oude Gueuze, this is a precious drink, available in a limited edition only !

Taste-wise… The marriage of genuine lambic, to the cherry - originally the Schaerbeek cherry - always has surprising results, particularly as a spontaneously fermented young lambic is added to the old lambic in the proportion of one to three. This union, in which natural bitterness dominates, will delight genuine connoisseurs of spontaneous fermentation and will surprise newcomers to fruit beers in their most prestigious and noble form.

Aus der Flasche (brewed 2010/bottled 2013/bbe 2024) im 2025-07 getrunken. Dieses Lambik zeigt sich mit einer wunderschönen rubin Farbe im Glas. Die Schaumkrone fällt schnell in sich zusammen was aber bei dem Alter kein Wunder ist. Das Kriek hier ist von den Aromen voll durchgereift und zeigt ein besonderes Krisch-Aroma ähnlich wie Amarena Kirschen. Nach hinten zeigt sich auch deutlich die Eichenfasslagerung durch ein Tannin-Einfluss. Recht sauer aber auch sehr schön gereift - ein gutes Kriek.
