An intense Kriek made from three cherry varieties macerated with young and aged lambics. This surprising blend underwent an extended seven-month maturation in Bourbon whiskey barrels, enhancing the depth of the Kriek.

Shared bottle @ Brygghuset. Almost clear red body under a short living, foamy pink head. Aroma is mostly cherry and acid with a mild funky touch. Taste is sour and tart cherry, mild funk, wood and a very vague hint of Bourbon/vanilla. Interesting to taste the integration between almond from cherry and vanilla. It’s a slightly unusually version of a Kriek and it works out well. Balanced body with a tart cherry aftertaste.

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas - Olambic Games, pours a cloudy dark red with a small off-white head. Aroma has plenty of bourbon and dark pithy cherries, soft leathery funk, and some light earthines. Flavour is very rounded, revealing huge bourbon barrels and dark cherries, with some soft leather funk. That’s a lot of bourbon and cherries. Unusual but excellent.

On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas for the Olambic Games. Pours hazy ruby with a minimal head. Red cherries and gentle bourbon on the nose. Flavour has sweet red cherries, gentle acidity; not much bourbon here. I like how this one comes together.

On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome), Birre sotto l'albero. Rossastra, mediamente torbida, schiuma bianco sporca media. Al naso note vinose e di frutta rossa, ciliegia, vaniglia, legno. In bocca è morbida e bilanciata, ha un attacco abboccato e una chiusura acida media, vinosa. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Un po' ruffiana, ma davvero niente male.
