UPDATED: APR 18, 2024 2016 Bottle at the Cantillon Brewery, 18th April 2024. Pours an off clear orange. Aroma is wood, barrel, liquor, musty, complex. Taste is intense, musty, wood, liquor, tart, you can taste the age. It’s lovely and mellow, classic stuff

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2024 750mL bottle, pours a bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of barnyard funk, tangy vinous notes, and a touch of leather. Flavour is tangy, with plenty of wine tang, gentle funk, leather, and some citrus. Very tangy, citrusy; unusual wine barrel character. Far from my favourite Cantillon, but this is very nice of course.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2023 Oysters & Gueuze 2023. Cloudy golden beer with a white head. Has a lot of grape character to it. Brandy, sherry, and vanilla notes as well. Tart grape and citrus with a mild funk. Actually has a decent sweetness to it. Get a really nice fruit character as it warms that is balanced pretty well, particularly how acidic I find a lot of Cantillon's beers. Solid.

UPDATED: AUG 12, 2023 75cl fles. Goudblond bier met wat wit schuim. Geur: licht zurig, hout, noten, ietwat stoffig. Smaak: zuur, vat, hout, okkernoten, hint van curry en sherry, werkelijk met een Vin Jaune smaak! Mediumkoolzuurprikkel. Blij dat ik dit als Vin Jaune liefhebber kon proeven. Een uitzonderlijk lekkere samenhang van lambiek en Vin Jaune!
