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.

0,375 l corked bottle from P&M Getränke, bottled on 22/1/2013 (two and a half years old). Clear, deep red with a huge, frothy, quickly diminishing, pinkish white head. Sourish-fruity and quite funky aroma of sour cherries, bitter almond, red grapes, oak and leather with hints of raspberry and redcurrant. Sourish-fruity taste of sour cherries, red wine, oak, rhubarb and raspberry, followed by a long, tart and vinous finish. Thin to medium body, very spritzy and quite astringent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Delicious kriek, really not sweet but very vinous with a solid lambic character. Quite complex and highly refreshing. I love it!

Bottle shared at home. Cork hit the ceiling, dangerous stuff! Deep ruby with very big dark pink head. Hay, dead leaves and earthy up front followed by fresh cherries, some funk and old, almost moldy bread. Light sour taste with a soft long lasting bitterness. Medium bodies with sparkly carbonation. Not really complex but very drinkable kriek.
