Bottled (1986 vintage)@Belgobaren, Stockholm (old backlog from about 2010). Red colour with a small pinkish head. Aroma is acidic wooden and fruity notes along with some slight sourness and raspberries. Flavour is acidic berries, some mild tart and sourness as well as mild wooden notes. A bit too acidic for my taste, but that’s always a risk when buying oldies...
Labeled as Vander Linden Frambozenbier/ Bière À La Framboise. Menu states 1994, label stamped best before Dec. 2000. Served straight from cellar. The cork comes out with a loud pop. Pours a clear amber color with a slight pinkish hue, and a medium sized sticky-icky head that never fully fades. Aroma is musky and lightly cork-y raspberry, I was surprised how much raspberry flavor is actually left. Taste is similar with more of a earthy-raspberry flavor and a slightly strong "corkiness" which may just be barrel. A nice light sweetness offsets the cork. A very velvety mouthfeel, which hides the carbonation on my tongue. Coats the tongue a little without interfering with the drink-ability of this beer. I got a bit of liqueur-ish feel from this beer. As the beer breathes the raspberry comes out more, especially the sour characteristics of the berry. No way does this beer feel over a decade old.

Leicht süßer Geruch. Minimal süßer Antrunk, dann leicht säuerlich (stärker werdend). Auch die Fruchtigkeit wird nach und nach stärker, insgesamt ist es aber ein mildes Bier. Süßer Mittelteil, was die Fruchtigkeit unterstützt. Im Nachgeschmack würziger, etwas saurer werdend, etwas bitter. Test vom 30.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,11,11,11,12,11
