Bottled 1/22. Clear red, a pink head flashes away. 3+ Aroma of red wine that straddles rustic and refined nicely, brooding woody funk, gentle old lemons. More wine and less grape-like than most I can think of, with rich red wine that's slightly sweet, gentle but gripping underlying acidity, subtle hay and lemon notes, round woody notes. Rich but the finish is so refreshing. Different, excellent.

Glass from 75 cl bottle, shared by a fellow Cantillon bar goer at the Cantillon Brewery/Museum in Brussels, Belgium. The pour is a clear golden with ruby and a minimal white head. The aroma is grape, funk tart, and a little dirtiness. The taste is bright grape flavors, citrus, citric, general funk and then more of the grape and drying wood character. The palate is light bodied with soft gentle carbonation and the drying wood finish. Nice, though heavier on the grape than I personally prefer.

Bottle shared at Marine Hotel, Stonehaven. It pours clear pale red with a small white head. The aroma is pleasing level of funk, grape must, terracotta, grape skin, deep wood character, jammy vibes, juniper, cranberry, hint of ripe soft cheese, floral and rose. The taste is crisp, dry, must, funk, barnyard, pretty clean initially, cranberry, red grape, jammy, juicy, blood orange, pomegranate, damp hay, nutty, wood, light spice, limited acidity, floral, fragrant and juniper accents with a dryish finale. Medium body and fine carbonation. Stands out as quite different to other Cantillon offerings. A real beer - wine hybrid. Quaffable.

light inky purple color. Amazing nose, almost meaty, plums, oak, funky yeasty. Amazing depth. Prickly carbonation, tart, funky, tons of plums and meat. Juicy red berries. Intense palate that really highlights the wine well. This is more about the wine than the beer and it’s perfectly integrated. Not overly sour. Amazing depth on the palate and a long long red berry finish. Simply amazing
