__NOTOC__
==Description==
Boon Vat 31 Monoblend is a geuze aged in foeder #31 for 4 and a half years. It was brewed on November 30, 2015, and bottled on May 14, 2020. It was released in 375ml bottles and is labeled as 8.5% ABV.
==History/Other Notes==
Tasting notes: A delicate, soft and fine Oude Geuze. It has a fine sparkle and a pleasant cognac-like nose. The velvety soft yet firm aroma with notes of apricot and nuts is underpinned by a clear oak character.
Repair history: In 2008, the cask was due for a major overhaul and cracks were found on the underside. In the coopers workshop at Brouwerij Boon, foeder #31 was partially dismantled in 2009, and 12 staves were replaced with new oak. Once overhauled, foeder #31 produced the following results: the new oak staves added extra aromas, and the existing 100-year-old microflora in the barrel wall produced a particularly fine lambic every time after 3 years of maturation.<ref name= Vat31> Brouwerij Boon LEMBEEK is launching a special gueuze 31 with lambic that is more than 4 years old - https://www.editiepajot.com/regios/7/articles/70965 (Dutch) </ref>
