Again, the basic old and young lambic are matured in oak casks. But here we add to one year-old lambic about 400 grams of real cherries per litre. This creates a second fermentation in the casks. Oude Kriek Boon then undergoes a further fermentation in the bottle and has an alcohol volume of 6.5%. After several months, the flavour has matured to the desired taste.
Oude Kriek Boon is a test of your patience. It should lie about 2 years in the bottle. At first, it tastes of fruit, especially sour cherries. Oude Kriek Boon eventually evolves into a deep taste reminiscent of Port or Madeira wine. This is kriek at its best.

Boon Oude Kriek 2013 6.5% A pretty deep purple-pink with a light pink head of foam and has a wonderful tart cherry with almond and musty notes. A sparkling prickly carbonation and rich flavor: sweet maraschino cherries, tartness, almonds and a tangy sour cherry flavor in the finish. Really really nice stuff.

Aroma is tart fruit peel and berries, quite sharp lactic acid and some farmyard funkiness, as well as bretty wood and cork. Medium to full body, with soft carbonation. Flavour is acidic, with tart fruity notes of cherries, fruit peel and berries, as well as bretty notes of musty dark wood and tannins.Tart semi dry finish.

Bottle at home. Vintage 2014. Pours a clear, deep red color with a small, pink head. Sweet aroma of sweet cherries, cherry candy, lemon juice, oak, barn yard and some cinnamon. Equal sour and sweet flavor with additional note of earth. Has a silky mouth feel, and a surprisingly mellow berry bitterness. A well-balanced, tasteful and easy-drinking kriek.
