Black Cardamom Infused Lambic is a refined Lambic, enriched with black cardamom. This spice, which is widely used in Indian and Pakistani cuisine, imparts smoky and spicy aromas, with notes of camphor, pepper, nutmeg and a hint of eucalyptus. The taste is intense and complex, with a warm spiciness that lends beautifully with the soft acidity of the Lambic.

BCBF 2025 Backlog.

Pours clear, darker blonde. Scent is very specific, intense, oaky, herbal / air freshner. Taste is sharp, tart, dry . oaky, fleshy. Very unique, but not my kind of spice.

Интересно конечно сразу с аромата, но если честно на вкус было странно даже для меня. На любителя любителей

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Clear very pale golden color, no head. Aroma is extremely weird, petrol-ish. Flavor is similar, spices, petrol. Yuk. Disgusting. 7-2,5-2-5-2

Pigs Ear 2025. Bag in a box. Novel. Some lime peel, herbal notes. Relatively low acidity. Tangy citrus. Pale wood accents. Low funk. Interesting and drinkable.

8/XI/25 - on tap @ Billies Craft Beer Festival Day 2 - Session 1 (Antwerp), BB: n/a (2025-1191) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!

Clear light yellow beer, no head. Aroma: very spicy, all cardamom, earthy, sweet, funky, lots of lambic, smoky touch. MF: soft to no carbon, medium body, oily texture. Taste: soft acidity, very spicy, all cardamom, oily and slick, a bit funky, piny touch, wood notes. Aftertaste: a little floral, smoky finish, good! (didn’t know until afterwards it was _black_ cardamom, but that explains the smokiness I’ve noticed).

Tap at Billies. Almost clear golden, no head. Perfumy, a lot of cardamon, funk, oak, light sweet malts. Medium sweet, less bitter and sour. Soapy and perfumy, but not too bad.
