jedwards (10) - Rhode Island, USA - OCT 20, 2011
Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil, Brettember 2010. Pours clear and coppery... actually looks a bit like cognac. Nose is musty, earthy, and slightly boozy -- taste is dry, tart, huge oak, tannic and extremely vinous. The cognac is there as a note in the flavor but not overt. Mouthfeel is rich and smooth, surprising given that it is completely uncarbonated. Wonderful unblended lambic, and another great example of what leaving a lambic in the barrel for more than three years can do.

Labove (273) - Rome, ITALY - MAY 22, 2011
Aroma e sapore insostenibili. Un po’ torbida, gradazione alcolica eccessiva. Non mi è piaciuta per niente.

MeadMe (977) - Riverview, Florida, USA - DEC 6, 2010
A: Pours a nice golden hue with a small white head. S: Aromas of green apples, light straw, oak, and a touch of white wine. T: The apples are there mildly tart, but crisp like wine. Hints of wet hay and a prominent flavor that I can’t quite put my finger on. The cognac maybe? M: Light in carbonation, a bit dry in the finish. D: Just okay not crazy about this one.

Jblauvs (1265) - Dover, New Hampshire, USA - NOV 13, 2010
Luminescent Golden Orange pour, aroma is very vinous, some light sour funk, cognac, woody tannin. Flavor is woody, sweet cognac notes almost overpower the tart funky very ripe lambic underneath but not quite. Funky and a bit odd, but nice, enjoyable, nice use of cognac.

kkearn (1163) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 8, 2010
Bottle, at Lambic Summit (6/9/10) and at Spuyten Duyvil Brett Fest (9/16/10), Pours orange golden with minimal head. Wood predominates the aroma, and is complimented by vanilla and alcohol, with mild lactic acid and yeast. Cognac is more pronounced on the palate, and is joined by notes of wood, lactic acid, wild yeast and orange. Palate is very dry, with wood and cognac persisting for a lengthy finish.
