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.

Bottle thanks to Andrew via trade for the same beer which I originally got in Belgium. Tasted during the First Annual Chicago Sour Tasting. Hazy golden amber with small, creamy white head. Aroma is stinky, funky, lots of barnyard and some sour. Flavor is wood, funk, slight barrel, grapey really well balanced. Medium to light body with slightly active carbonation. Fantastic, well balanced, one of the most straight forward geuzes so far.

75 cl bottle, shared with Roger and Atle. Golden color, white head. Aroma is most of all cognac barrel, there is also sourness and fruit. Flavor is sour, fine sweetness and has a oaky finish. Nice.

Another big ol’ winner graciously shared by xmarcnolanx. Pours orange / bronze with an off-white head. The aroma has light sourness, funk and lots of weird buggy things going on. There is also horseblanket, light cognac and lots of lambic goodness that’s hard to put into words, but is distinctly Cantillon even with the twists in here. Medium body that is very smooth for a Cantillon with a small amount of carbonation. The flavor starts with smoothness of malt and a hint of cognac, then lactic and wild sourness come into play with some strange funky sourness, light vinegar and lots of very buggy wild goodness. The finish is sour and smooth. As it warms more oak comes into the flavor. This is a fantastic and unique lambic. Delicious.

I was slightly disappointed in this one. The aroma was complex, with a bit of cognac and the typical Cantillon sour funk, but I just couldn’t get past the awkward wateriness that occurred mid-sip. The finish was lasting and acidic, but overall the flavors were less homogeneous than I would have liked.

Very woody, sophisticated champagne like brew with a good round but light mouthfeel. Not very acidic but rather funky, woody and easy to drink. It’s special and it’s tasty.

Pours a cloudy yellow, light headring . . aroma of light twisted honey, wood, smack, malt vinegar, lemon skin .. . looks skanky, i love them dem skanks! .. . quite a bitter backbone, yet so drinkable, evil crime fighter!! .. . no smoke without fire .. . apple, aspirin, honey, wood, and other shady ball licking activity (kinky sidelines) .. . very easy drinking for such a fantastic nutter sourness packed brew, one of the finer lambics i have ingested.. . i want to give it love squeezings!!

It’s Cantillon. Bugs and Funk. I will put my wiener in this. Swear. To. God. Lots of lactic, sour lemons in the aroma. Effervescent, vinegar, yum Taste: Starts out a bit of lactic and butter, but develops and transforms into the vinegar, alcoholic and barreled monster that I would expect. Taste is alcoholic, lactic, sour, bitter. Very decent, but I prefer the more widely released Cantillons.
