Frambozen begins with the aroma of fresh red raspberries, followed by the ripe seductiveness of a fruity brown ale with depth and delicate malt notes. It is deep ruby in color, with flavors just as rich. Every year, New Belgium sends a delegate to the Pacific Northwest to oversee the process of turning freshly picked berries into a pure juice to be added in fermentation. The coming of Thanksgiving at New Belgium is ushered in with the first sighting of our cellar operators scuttling about, covered head to tow in a festive crimson berry wash.
Goat cheese brix, frisee, purple potato salad, chive, pine nuts . The raspberry is quickly cut with the flaky buttery filo crust of the sharp goat cheese as are the malts; the creamy roasted purple fingerling potatoes complement the caramely malts; the peppery frisee also cuts the sweetness of the raspberry. The pine nuts enhance the malty finish.
The trick here is to move face forward toward the raspberry flavor. So go bold. Go big. Bombard the palate with a Blue D'Auverne, the cow's milk cousin of Roquefort. The creaminess of the cheese, with that unmistakable blue cheese body, when paired with Frambozen reaches new heights of shared experiences. Following the same idea is a Lemon Stilton from England that will dash from the gates as a race of flavor intertwining between the lemon and the raspberry and be deftly held together by the brown ale body.
This nut brown has the perfect balance between malty, caramel finesse and tart, berry rigidity. Plenty of body to stand up to fattier and gamier poultry such as duck and goose, this beer will pair well with a starter of blue cheese soufflé with a dried berry port sauce. For dessert try a white chocolate cheesecake with mixed berry compote.
Frambozen is a holiday treat that deserves a special holiday meal pairing. A favorite winter meal for me that complements Frambozen is seared duck breast accompanied by mushroom risotto with duck confit and fresh herbs. Duck has a nice full flavor and fatty character that tends to bring the gentle raspberry notes of FZ out. The caramel maltiness of Frambozen plays in concert with the risotto and duck confit mixture so they work in harmony.
Frambozen is also a great treat after a fine meal and can be easily paired with sweet desserts. One particularly nice combination is a spicy cayenne pepper chocolate cake and FZ. The spicy cake is nicely contrasted by the malty sweetness and subtle fruit tones in Frambozen. Of course, one can never go wrong by adding a dollop of homemade raspberry ice cream to their cake and washing it down with Frambozen.
