| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Bottle, vintage 2005, 3 years old at Yeast fest 08. Pours a cloudy light yellow orange body. Aroma is cognac and sour funkiness. Flavor is very buttery, i really like it. A light easy to drink cognac comes into play with a sour ending and some acidity present. I’ll definately open this again. Miver (564), WillowStreet, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 9, 2008 750ml bottle; Cork dated 2007. This poured hazy yellowish gold in color with a quickly diminishing white fizzy head. The aroma is typical of most Cantillons. Sour, barnyard, funk. This one had some citric in the aroma as well. The taste was a little more subdued compared to other Cantillons which punch you in the jaw. There were solid notes, of lemon citrus. I picked up a bit more oak which made this Cantillon drier in the finish. This was very nice. BrianK (190), Livingston, New Jersey, USA

The aroma was sour lemons with some floral character. There was also some hints of sweat and sweet apples. The taste was fairly tart with some flowers and bread crust. The finish was very dry. A nice Cantillon, but nothign about this one really stood out to me. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 19, 2008 Updated: Feb 22, 2009(Bottle at VBPF08 on 2008-05-18 and at home on 2009-02-22) Golden colour. Hazy. Small white head that disappeared quickly. Sour and a bit sweet nose with hint of cognac. Acidic palate that is a bit dry. Sour taste. Some tiny hints sweetness and quite strong cognac flavours in aftertaste. Really nice. MIBRomeo (1965), Wisconsin, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 18, 2008 Light yellow pour w/ a nice white head dissapates quickly. Acidic aroma w/ hints of damp hay and leather some vinegar maybe definate funk in there. Full bodied and coats fairly well. Crazy thought to have cognac although I thought it didn’t really come through. Pretty tart as well.
