Boon Millésime 2020 is a delicate traditional fruit beer based on Belgian Schaarbeekse cherries and lambic. 270 grams of cherries per litre create an intense, wine-like and elegant cherry aroma. This together with the accessible alcohol content make it an ideal tasting beer for food pairing or as an apéritif. The Boon Millésime was bottled on 19 October 2021 and is refermented in the bottle. Feel free to let the bottle continue to age for a few years. Cheers!

Pours deep red with a small, pink head. Funky aroma of cattle sheds and horse shit. Funky and tart flavour of cherries and oak casks. Not quite my cup of tea.

Bottle. Deep red, big pink head. Lots of cherries, somewhat vinous, funky, cherry pit, oak, sour, juicy, lively carbonation. Great.

2020. Purple, with a pale purple head. This has a nice cherry aroma. Dry, lots of cherry, not a bunch of complexity. I like the fruit, but the underlying lambic seems more restrained than I would prefer.

750mL bottle. Pours murky dark red with foamy pinkish head. Aroma has cherries, barnyard funk. Flavour is moderately funky, deep cherries, grape-like tannins. Very good, cherry-heavy lambic; not the most exciting lambic though.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark cherry red with a medium pink head. Aroma reveals deep cherry pits, moderate funk, some mustiness, and light acidity. Flavour is full of deep cherry piths, dark cherry juice (without much residual sweetness), a touch of funk, and gentle acidity. Lots of deep cherries and cherry pith. Very tasty.

2020 bottle. Deep red with a pale pink head. Aroma is not hugely fruity with old laundry and oak before cherries and their stones. That's so in the taste too - the cherries are an accent, albeit a strong one to the underlying lambic. They have that booming richness though (and moderate juicy sourness) so the balance works well. More elegant than deep perhaps, but lovely.
