Brewed for Monk's Café 25th Anniversary. Bottled 22 November 2022.
V Generations is a celebration of Belgian brewing passion that spans generations and continents. For blending day, two families came together, contributing their collective expertise and energy to the brew: From Belgium, Brasserie Cantillon’s Jean-Pierre Van Roy (who took a day off from retirement to lend his decades of experience), alongside his son Jean Van Roy and grandson Florian Van Roy; and from Philadelphia, Monk’s Cafe’s Tom Peters, side by side with his daughter Isabel Thomas-Peters. The result, a blend of four-year, three-year and two-year aged barrels, is the fruit of a long friendship, and a toast to generations to come.

Bottle thanks to JMFP. Pours orange gold with small white head. The aroma is strong funk, earth, wood, citrus. Slick body, funky, citrus, oak, nice tartness, enjoyed this.

Bottle shared with Chris D, Nfed, and Julie: pours lightly orange with a small head. Aroma is citrusy, perfumey, funky, slight basement. Taste is pretty drinkable, not too intense, but a mellow underlying funkiness. Quite good.
