4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
March 2011, on cask at Moeder Lambic
A: Deep amber with golden hues. Small bubbly head that quickly receded.
S: First notes are caramel and burnt sugar, lambic funk, and wood.
T: Like the nose, burnt sugar and caramel. The sourness and woody tartness of a straight lambic is also present throughout.
M: Medium bodied. Decent amount of carbonation and zip considering this was on cask.
O: Of the few faros out there, this is one of the better ones.

UPDATED: DEC 25, 2011 tap@Chez Moeder Lambic, only place where you can get this? except for the brewery, amazing bar, hazy, golden, whiskey colour with no head in a cute, small Cantillon glass, the sweetness from the sugar & the sourness of the Cantillon have seemingly neutralized each other or are at least in a perfect balance, making this a very unique experience, sweet & tart, caramel taste with minor oak, smooth, velvety, bit dry with almost no carbonation, interesting, definitely worthwhile/// sampled @ brewery from cask: wow, this one is far less, no balance here, thinned out a bit, sour, musty old, wet clothes lambic upfront, empty gap followed by dissolved, watery candy sugar, still far from bad but where is the balance in this one? Why the difference in quality & unison in blending?

On tap at Chez Moeder Lambik Brussels. Looks good in the glass, deep golden, modest turbid, nice head. Starts quite sweet, mild, then more and more sourish, a bit moldy. Long lasting finish, still moldy, modest sweet. Very well balanced. Nice!
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Compared to their other beers - this one is very mellow. Pours yellow with a small off white head. Mellow aroma and slightly sweet flavor - this is a very easy beer to drink. Well done.

Fresh at the brewery. Delicious and smooth, but a bit overly sweet compared to the other samples that afternoon. Still a delightful beer and worth drinking again.

Draft at Moeder Lambic. Slightly cloudy yellow amber pour, small bubbly off-white head. Fruit, leather, lots of sugary sweetness, slight sourness in the background. I am not that impressed, but then I again I really dislike sweetened beers.

One of the most beautiful Lambic experiences. Something sensational. I had it at Cantillon Brewery and at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. It is extremely particular thanks to the addition of rock candy. A great balancing between the sharp and sweet. An intense play of flavours giving us a special sensation. Absolutely to try whenever is possible. Served directly from the jug.

[3317-20100809] Plastic keg. Caramel toast aroma has strong un-fermented wort and light toasted grapes. Hazy, dark brown body with quick off-white bubbles. More like wort or fermenting apples in the flavour, with just some notes of sweet caramel. Medium-full body has a sour background. Not my favourite style but it grows on you after several sips.
