Boon Oude Geuze VAT 110

VAT 110 owes its slightly dry but very full-bodied flavor, with a hint of vanilla and dry fruit, thanks to foeder no. 110. This foeder used to serve as a cognac cask and has been used as a Lambic cask by our brewery since 2009. This Traditional Old Geuze is characterised by a wealth of flavours that developed from by the Brettanomyces yeast strains in the cask.

4.1 Appearance: Pours clear deep golden. Small pour in order to keep the beer cool, so no description of head and lacing. 外观：深金色，清澈。为保持适饮温度每次仅倒少量酒，酒头和挂杯不作描述。 4/5 Aroma: Orange, grapefruits, peach, apricot, wood, clove and soft cheese, with slight hints of funk. 气味：橙子、西柚、桃、杏、木香、丁香和软质奶酪，伴随着些许霉香。 8/10 Taste: Citrus fruits and stone fruits with hints of wood. On the dry side. Crispy acidity. Dry tart citrusy finish, lingering. 味道：柑橘类水果与核果伴随着桶味。爽脆的酸度。偏干。尾韵干而酸，呈现柑橘类水果味，悠长。 8/10 Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, refined and smooth, slight oily texture, soft carbonated. 口感：中等酒体，细腻顺滑，质地略油润，杀口感柔和。 5/5 Overall: I didn't associate the beer with congnac cask until I saw the introduction on the label. I consider it was finished in a chardonnay cask according to the stone fruits in flavor. The congnac cask, after all, was reused for years. 我没喝出来这酒是过了干邑桶，直到我看了它的介绍。从核果味出发，我以为这酒是过的霞多丽白葡萄酒桶。好吧，这干邑桶毕竟重复利用了好多年了。 16/20

3.8 Bottle 375ml @ Gunnfryd Pours hazy golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, funky, barnyard and citrus. Taste is light to medium sweet and medium sour with a long citrus, funky and barnyard finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

4.0 Quite excellent, exceeding my expectations. Appearance is light orange, clear, bright, not much head or lace. Nose is mostly fruity, with some mustiness. Very soft tingly feel initially then quickly get a bit of tartness, that fades out and yields to a dry finish. Taste is the vanilla, a bit of lemon, oakiness, leather. Quite complex. Not overly sour quite well balanced.

3.9 375ml bottle. Clear dark golden pour with a small frothy off white head with some decent staying power. Wet horse blanket, hay, cheese rind, funk, light oak, earthiness with a bit of a damp cellar mustiness, nice depth with a hint of sugar and booziness, dry, moderate+ carbonation and moderate body, long finish with a nice funk and sour ending. Solid.

3.9 Poured from a 375 ml bottle. Aroma has medium light cherry pie and grape notes with lighter grape must and lemon. Light grain and oak notes with medium light earthy, herbal funk. Pours a hazy, copper color with a medium large, medium thick, frothy, white head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers. No lacing and faint legs.

This has a nice fruitiness but the funk and acidity is a bit light.

3.6 Bottle, 375ml corked. A clear golden colored beer with a small, dense, white head. The aroma has a touch of booze, with citrus more than lemon, a light funk and an unusual but nice spiced, peppery touch. It's dry and tart, with a nice carbonation level. Cognac notes, some peppery hints, lemon, grapefruit and barnyard. Flower hints. Lasting funky finish. Not sure about this one, there's something unusual going on, but I like it anyway. 190906

Toast, poached quince, peach blossoms. Creamy, highish carbonation. Rich brioche, caramel, peach before taut funky notes grip towards a drying finish. The finish has a bit of grilled pineapple about it. Very good.

4.0 Bouteille: Deep golden, hazy, no head to speak of, but a kind of carbonation is still visible, the sourish cellary-musty nose is dominated by lemony and also (sweetish!!!) woody-vinous aromas; solid sour-sweet flavour, full bodied, surprisingly soft for a Gueuze; lingering sour-sweet vinous-woody and lemony finish. Chapeau...

Minimally sweetish, sourish, quite funky and gently fruity aroma of ripe lemon, leather, horse blanket, oak and some gooseberry.

Medium body, gently astringent and quite effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Very complex and funky Gueuze, less fruity than most of the other variants by Boon, nicely rustic.
