(re)sampled at the end of 2020. This particular batch was bottled 18th of June 2015. must have had it numerous times before, but I never really kept track of batches.
Pours clear, lighter red than fresh batches , more like a clear pinkamber-orange red. No real head, whatever is there in the pour, immidiatly dissapears. Scent is be-a-utifull. Aged Cantillon funk, mild cork, but not problematic at all . mild cherry. Taste is very full, midly oxidized (marzepin) cherry still very clearly present. Cantillon funk, in a beautifull way. Acidic bite upon entering the mouth, giving way to a fruity character I'd still call a blast. lambic funk, presenting a mild oxidative note (aged wood ) near the end finishes of the main taste. It lingers in it's beautifully complex acidic character. Mild cork, still, but never problematic. Creating imperfections we all love in this type of beer. The body still is medium, so is carbonation. I'd strongly prefer this over a fresh one, and will probably aim to age the more freshly bought bottles just as long.

Bottle at home, almost 5 years old. Cork in really good shape. Clear ruby with big but short lasting pink head. Still quite some sour cherries but also earthy funk, wood and soft minerals. Over medium sour and light sweet. Very fine fizzy bubbles. Maybe a tad sour, but a lovely beer and not too much age going on yet after 5 years.

Hazy red, white lacing. Nose: mild sour cherry. Taste is juicy, light creamy texture, moderate carbo. Loads of sour cherries in the end.
