750ml (thx, Robert S.!). Pre-MBCC 2025 tasting with Chris, Farees, and Shane.
Funk, a bit sweet, some nice oak. Low carbonation, just a little bit acidic, bold. Quite unique flavour profile.
Very nice!

Bottle at Black Christmas March 2022, 3 liters bottle; 4 years old
Cloudy blond colour, with low carbonation. The expected Lambic characteristics are quite muted, mild; the carbonation is low, the acidity is moderate; but it has a good, wet, juicy finish.

750ml bottle pours out golden topped with a fizzy head. Nose is great light berries layers of funky barnyard brandy barrel some spice maybe. Taste is more of the layers of complexity funky berries brandy, very happy to have tried this one.

750 ml bottle, vintage 2018. Golden-amber, clear body, with almost no head.
Beautiful aroma of the typical Cantillon funk, wood, brandy, grapes, apples, citrus. Tastes similar, a bit less complex.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a low carbonation. Finishes perfect, smooth, balanced, medium dry, a wooden, a bit funky, with brandy, grapes.

Delicious. So smooth and balanced, with a beautiful mix of funk, brandy, fruits and barrel notes. So fresh and elegant, I could drink this all day. Score: 9 / 4 / 8 / 5 / 17

From tap at Ammutsøn during Zwanze Day 2021: Pretty different from tap, quite a lot of boozy Brandy notes, drinks quite heavy, while still really interesting. Would be a 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17. Definitely prefer this from bottle.

0,2l from tap at Ammutson during Zwanze day 2021. Yellow hazy color, small white head. Smells of oak, glueish, earthy. Decent smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes of brandy, oak, glueish, peppery, some sweetness, horse radish. Finishes heavy, sweet and sour with notes of brandy, glue and notes of horse radish. Hmm, super heavy on the brandy, not very complex, not that great overall, liked it better from bottle

750ml bottle. Vertical with 2017 and 2020 vintages. Funky, sour and mineraly with some tartness, apricot, apples and oaky notes, some woody notes and earthiness. Pretty good.

Bottle. Probably picked up at a loon factory online sale. Might have been at the factory, 1per person job. Clear, orange gold. Slim ring of white. Nose has a big hit of cardboard, first off, which is a bit unsettling. Gets a bit woody and dry sherry like. Some dried peach stone. Taste is dry and pretty bitter. Some oaky sweetness. Mouthfeel is tart and dry. Medium body. Low carbonation. Finish picks up some acidity. Not keen, to be honest. That cardboard thing is not good.
