Boon Oude Geuze VAT 110 Monoblend 15/12/2016 37.5cl

All oak barrels in the Boon brewery have their own history and are characterized by unique microflora of wild yeasts. The bottles of Oude Geuze “VAT” are a combination of one specific wooden barrel (mono) and a minimal percentage of young Lambic (blend), which starts the refermentation in the bottle. The use of Lambic from one specific oak barrel (such barrels are also called “casks”) creates geuzes with very idiosyncratic characteristics: wine-like, whiskey-like, bone-dry or very tender. The number on the bottle always refers to the barrel number.

VAT 110
Oude Geuze Boon VAT 110 owes its slightly dry, but very full-bodied taste, with a touch of vanilla and dry fruit, to cask Nr. 110. This cask was formerly used as a cognac storage barrel and has been employed by the brewery as a Lambic barrel since 2009. This Oude Geuze is characterized by a wealth of aromas developed by the brett yeasts in the barrel.
