Mar 20, 2006 Felix Ouderaards Kriekbier, Akkurat, Stockholm; Vintage ~1990, 16 years old
Clean color, mahogany; almost no foam. Strong aroma of cherries, cherry kernels, some malt, kirsch, spicy cookies; the aroma is developing and transforming! Almost still; velvety mouthfeel, some sweetness, cherries and cherry kernels fruitness, a touch of vinegar sourness. The final is not bitter enough, but quite sweet, too simple, with some old wood character. Minimum signs of age.

Feb 4, 2006 Copper-coloured with orange tones. Small head that cloys to the glass. Intense yoghurty sourness combined with cherry aroma. Very fruity flavour with refreshing sourness developing towards a toffeeish ending. Well-carbonated. Delicious 25 year old brew-well worth waiting for!

Dec 5, 2005 Bottle, 1992 vintage, at GBBF, August 2005. Thanks to Hugh for clearing up the confusion (shouldn’t this beer be split?). Murky reddish colour. This beer has stood up remarkably well. There’s still plenty of vibrant fruit, although oxidation and some toffee have crept in, and it has softened out quite a lot. Woody and soft at the same time. Perhaps a touch too soft. Otherwise, a very interesting and appealing drop.
