Boon Framboise Mariage Parfait

Bottle shared by Matt, not sure if the heaved after this one or not. Brown with a hint of purple on the edges. Small dense off-white head. Raspberries with a noble mold aroma along with, mace, caskwood, light acid and iron. Now this is a lambic, lots of fruit with a full tart initial quiver. Nicely balanced and refreshing.

[2000 Bottle from Delirium Cafe, Gothenburg] Nose of Horseblanket, both over-ripened and fresh raspberrys, sweet upfront, tart and light. Less smelly than I had expected.

Pre-GTMW tasting @ 1FastSTi’s place. 2000 vintage. Brown with reddish tint and a pinkish head. The aroma is fresh raspberries, horsey and light cheese. The flavor is lightly sweet, tart raspberries and cheese. The mouthfeel is light and lively.

Aroma is very strong and loaded with raspberry, raspberry seeds, vanilla, wood and some funky sourness. Redish-orange ini color with a thin, white head. Amazing flavor, tons of raspberries. Balanced with a slightly sour, funkiness and caramel malt backbone. Sweet and sour at the same time. Lighter body with an almost creamy texture and a dry finish. Thanks Facto for opening this one up!

2000 vintage (6-yr). Ambery pink clear body. Pinkish white head. Acidic raspberry, moldy cheese. Mmm… delicious sweet, delicious sour, raspberry, spiderwebs, dry cheese. MMm...

750-ml. bottle, 2000 vintage, shared by MrFacto. Translucent cherry brass in color with a beady white layer cast sparingly as the head. Raspberry kernels and tart, freeze dried cranberries impart the first aromatic implications, pursued by moderate vinaigrette and a breakfast danish trait to tartly envelop the nose. Sweet, tart and cyclical flavor shine broaches the palate with a big flavorful stream. Raspberry kernels spliced open for added tart complexity. Pomegranate kernels juicily bursting between the teeth. Supple carbonation and a sweet/tart justice that couldn’t be any better balanced. Kernels coronate a cyclical syrup feel with a backdoor bitterness to keep it from keeling. It’s a very tasty treat.

2000 vintage per Matt. The beer pours to a very hazy dark garnet body with a lasting fizzy white head. The flavor is nicely sweet red raspberries. Nicely tart funk. The aroma is red raspberries with a sour funk and some yogurt. The palate is tart, sweet, coating.

Mucho thanks Matt for this 2000 bottle! Poured a hazed deep amber hue with reddish highlights topped by a small tight head. The nose detected a lush sour raspberry vapor along with some dusty hops, flowers, cheese, and was very inviting to say the least, NICE! The taste displayed a nice fruit and bready malt combination at first supported by a vinegar sourness and oak. A grassy but not bitter finish. The mouth feel is lively, tart, crisp, and quite refreshing with an oaky dry aftertaste. Real good!
