At Quintessence. Aroma is stables, pigs, funk, port indeed. Body is medium and flat, lots of Lambic funk, low port flavours. Far from typical Cantillon, but good for unblended. Softly sour, but very lasting at it. Good.

Säuerlicher, minimal rauchiger Beginn. Die Säure steigt deutlich an, geringfügig karbonisiert, spritzig. Dunkel holzig-würzig, etwas bitter, vollmundig. Gut. 10/9/11/9//10

Sample at Quintessence 2018. Clear golden with white head. Cheesy and mineral funk, loads of wet wood, light citrus. Quite a bit of port presence. Very nice.

(On tap @ Quintessence 2018, Cantillon, May 1/18) Pours nearly clear gold with a very small white head. Notes of softly sweet vinous grape/port, citrus peels, somewhat dusty cellar funk, wood, leather, soft cheese, a bit gentle with the residual sweetness of the port, rather lightly sour and a little bitter. Medium bodied and a little slick, with no carbonation. Lovely stuff even though it's obviously a bit young, showing so much potential for blending while conveying much more overt barrel character than most old lambic. Very excited for Brabantiae bottles next year.

Draft @ Quintessence 2018. Finalement, le St Graal dont tant parle. Autant dire que les locaux peuvent quasi déjà oublier d'avoir une chance d'obtenir une bouteille, sil elle venait à sortir, ou alors surement la racheter à un américain. Le tout est doré oscillant sur le côté paille, pas de col. Palais offre un bouquet fin tannique, le Porto, sans être indiqué et le savoir, est très minimaliste mis une certaine douceur contrebalance l'habituel bouquet funk de lambic. Palais est complètement plat, assez sec, funk, Porto modéré et n'offrant pas la comlplexité que j'attendais surtout au vu de la durée de mise en barrique. Petite pointe de Sherry, léger citronné , barrique modeste.
