Kriek Boon Mariage Parfait consists of 1 year-old heavy lambic flavoured with overripe cherries, 400 grams per litre. Longer aging in small oak barrels gives it its special flavour. The lambic is bottled and stored in an air-conditioned room for six months of secondary fermentation. Kriek Mariage Parfait has an alcohol volume of 8%. It keeps for a minimum 20 years, and is ready to drink after about 2 years in the bottle. This is perfection in kriek beers. Try it and admit that it surpasses the best wine.
The casks give this beer its fine oaky flavour with hints of vanilla and cloves. It boasts a wide mouth with a warm body and roundness reminiscent of dried cherries and wild tastes. This is soft mildness personified.

A small bottle, corked and caged, purchased from Beautiful Beers, for which many thanks, drunk at Dad’s place while home on holiday. 2021 vintage. Aroma: impressive, deep funk. Appearance: clear Ribena, flat. Palate: medium-bodied and rather astringent, average carbonation; finish is lingering and dry. Taste: very complex and well-balanced, wood, barnyard, pencil, cherries don't really come through. Remarkable beer though - for me, special occasions only.

Bottle at home. Deep ruby pour with a thin head. Nose is moderately intense, deep and rich cherry, some leathery funk. Taste is jammy fruits upfront, nicely rich and fairly layered, that’s why it’s kinda sad how quickly it’s gone, leaving an empty(ish) palate. The acidity is not too sharp, the funk’s there but also not too intensely. Pleasant, but far from extraordinary.

2009 bottle courtesy of the slovak sniper.
Dark,ruby pour, with a big thick pink head. Huge aroma of vinegar, funk, wet hay and tart, sour cherries. Pefrect carb and mouth feel. Finish is not as tart and sour as you might expect, but its still very nice. Loads of cherries and funk. The alcohol is nowhere to be found. Great stuff.

Bottle at home. 2014 vintage enjoyed in juli 2016. Aroma is tart and slightly sweetish cherries, barnyard funk, oak. Flavour is moderate to medium sour and light sweet with a bone dry finish. Good complex funk and oak, lots of cherries. Though not as sour as I like my Kriek, this is an excellent specimen.

Аромат неплохой, сразу есть сухость, немного ягод, красная смородина, черешня с косточкой. Цвет кроваво красный и насыщенный, пенки почти нету, но по началу красная и красивая. Вкус хороший но все же не такой яркий как хотелось бы. Смородина почти полностью ушла, есть вишня но не черешня, хотя при этом косточка как от черешни после глотка. Кислинка прям яркая в послевкусие но не долгая. В целом хороший ламбик но не топ.

LCI from last night. Amazing how much cherry is remaining here. No carbonation, sweet and sour balance.
