Moriau Kriek

Brewed by Brouwerij F. Boon
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Lembeek, Belgium

75 cl bottle, thanks to Hildigöltur. Reddish with yeast, white/pinkish head. Fruity aroma, some yeast, lots of cherry of course, woody. Cherry flavor, rather sweet, fruity, woddy.

Bottled. Same as jbrus. Aroma has cherries, has just a little perfumed character and it has some marzipan. Hazy, red coloured with a pink head. Taste is sweet, has cherries, some sourness, some woodiness and marzipan. Little flat out, probably due to aging. Nice.

Bottle@Home, estemated 7yr old. Strawberry and cherry aroma with some cherry pits and a hint of vinegar. Light hazy, red color, pinkish head, fair lace. Sweet, cherry, cherry pits, some bitterness. Quite full and flat. Very short finish.

Bottle (Thanks to Jacob) at Bagers - NewYears evening. Cloudy reddish - white/pink head. Cherry, sweetness, light carbonation, light armond, marzipan, light light sourness. A bit boring.

’98 bottle, big thanks to jacob for sharing this vintage delight. reddish, thin pink head, some marzipan/cherry stone aroma, pleasantly sweet and sour, finishes raspingly dry with a hint of apple peel

Bottle, Huge thanks to Jacob for this gift! A bottle from the origional Moriau brewery, not Boon, so a few years old indeed. Aroma is rammed full of yeasty esters, quite dusty tammed down funk. Taste is similar quite a beast forsure, exremly drinkable however the cherrys flavour has gone and whats left of the fruit character is just general tartness. I took a small reaction to this one, my first beer to find im slightly allergic too, so a special moment foresure.

A Mes rate: An original 75cl 1998 bottle. Another of Jacobs very generous offerings while he, Sim and I sat outside Plan B. As Jacob so rightly pointed out we needed something to go with the Loerik and this was his selection from his incredibly well stocked cellar that in all honesty had me drooling. Good red amber looks that are probably passing over to amber due to age. It’s 9 years in the bottle show in the nose also but it has lasted really well with lovely soft smokey notes and just a delicate hint of cherry. Flavour is very Boon like with a little too much sweet stuff for me and not enough sourness. Still rather tasty however. Heavy burnt brown sugar for the finish that is actually much better than it sounds. A rare treat and once again I must say thanks to Jacob. For a bogan, you are a great bloke...

Old version - Red brown body, beautiful light pink head; Very soft sweet pleasant nose, sweet yoghurt and lots of cherry; To sweet and not acidy enough flat body; Slightly acidy sweet finish, lots of caramel, REAL light brown English caramel.
