Bottle at Café Pardaf. Clear yellow pour with a minimal white head. Muted funk and barrel bouquet. What a stunner and so much better than batch 13. Sour and acidic but not overly so with funk and barrel notes. The cognac
adds creaminess and the barrel mellow caramel lowlights. The alcohol, which I suspect is from the rum, makes its presence felt in the finish. Clean, complex, and delicious with a solid body.

Pours a clear, slightly darker blonde. Surprisingly slow rising, stable white head. Scent is typical cantullon funk. Slightly more woody perhaps than the regular OG, touch more pronounced and only a slight whiff of what seems to be cognac. Taste is full, at the very first hit, the barrels deliver their aroma's, even a touch of seemingly sweet character. Refined aroma from the cognac, more gentle persuasive 'sweet' touch from the rum. Obviously the lambic isnt overpowered, and is still acidic, funky, woody, typical cantillon. Outspokenly mineral. Is it just me, or do the 50n 4e's get better and better ? Wasnt a big fan of the series before but it's riging up the ranks when they do stuff like this !

Bottle at Cantillon. It pours clear golden - blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is musty, funky, dusty barnyard, sweet white grape, cognac soaked oak, vanilla, rum definitely comes through, dark fruits, caramelised brown sugars and tart tatin. The taste is firmly dry, tart, puckering, zingy, vinous, white grape, punchy acidity, gooseberry, white currant, sherbet, boozer feel than regular gueuze, Rum adds an interesting dimension, dark fruits, touch of brown sugars, tannin, minerality and a dull unpasteurised cheddar feel. Finish is bone dry and acidic. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Lovely depth of flavour.

This is aged in rum and cognac, beautiful cognac, oak, citrus, barnyard, hay in the nose. Tart palate, full body, balanced by rum sweetness. Amazing depth.. slightly warming. The spirits linger at the end. Superb

[2023 Vintage] 750mL bottle at Yi Chan. Pours clear gold with a white head. A bit of funk and some cognac barrels on the nose; the barrels mute the funk and vice versa. Flavour has more funk than the nose, some acidity, cognac. Fairly juicy flavour, slightly waxy barrel character.

750mL bottle at Yi Chan, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has some perfumey rum barrels upfront, a touch of cognac, and soft leather. Flavour is rather muted, with gentle funk, a touch of cognac, not much if any rum, along with a soft leathery finish. Very soft palate that actually lacks a bit of depth. It’s definitely good but far from a top Cantillon product.
