Commercial Description:
In March 2005, the brewery Cantillon had bought second hands barrels in the region of Cognac. For 15 years, the wood had been impregnate with cognac. Then for 2 years, our lambic has extracted all the flavors and aromas to make a unique gueuze. The name comes from the geographic location of the brewery.

Poured a basically clear pale golden color with a thin, fizzy ring of bubbles. The aroma was light funk and lots of sour. Had a tough time finding much cognac. The flavor too was a bit of funk with plenty of sourness and very little cognac that was discernible to me. The carbonation was active on the tongue but not distracting. Dry finish. Good stuff.

Hazy gold. Barnyard, sweet booze, brett, vinegar and wood. Flavor is sour but has some sweet characteristics. I get some of the barrel aging, vinegar, sour apples and wet earthy flavors. Damn good.

Milky, golden pour. Mineral and vinegar soaked wood aroma, lemon pith and bittersweetness; flickering acidity and brazen citrus sharpness; all fairly far from unusual, and just right.

Flavor is wooden and sweet, with the usual ripping sourness beneath; the animal qualities are a bit buried as well, but the acetic flavors are quite forward; mostly champagne vinegar and a bit of balsamic. Theres a spirit texture of sweetness in the wooden flavor that seems to calm everything somewhat, but its not obviously cognac; its general, and lets out some malt flavors; dried apples and some brownish spiciness.

Definitely a richer, warmer example than many others, and somehow cleaner as well, though not short on the desired flavors; smooth textured and bright overall. Highly likable!

Unclear golden of color with a white head. An aroma of horseback, dry and sour. A dry and sour flavor with notes of horseback.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow-golden with a small white head. Aroma is sour and sweetish. Flavour is dry, sour and with brett. Dry finish, lingering sourness as well as bitterness. Okay, but a bit too sour for me. 26-09-09.
