Lovely funk, massive walnuts and oxidized Vin Jaune. Sour and woody, but less dry then some Vin Jaune I’ve head, though it’s still very dry. Over medium sour. Great stuff, though maybe slightly on the sour side right now.

18/IV/22 - 75cl bottle @ Cantillon Quintessence (Brussels), BB: n/a (2022-359)
Paired with amazing +24 months old Comté.
Clear blond beer, small to almost no head, a little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very musty, damp cellar, mouldy earthy impression, nutty, lovely! MF: ok carbon, medium body .Taste: citrus notes, earthy, oxidized, some orange peel, grapefruit, a gentle acidity, lovely complexity. Aftertaste: more acidic in the throat, lots of citrus, oxidized, clean acidity, lemon notes, a bitter touch in the finish. Lovely beer, great cheese pairing!
