Bottle @ Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Pours light hazy golden yellow with a medium white head. Aromas of sweet pears, oak, walnuts, curry, citrus, grapes, esters. Taste has that classic vin jaune walnutty, sherry-like oakiness, curry, sweet pears, green apples, green grapes, esters, subtle tartness in the back. Such an interesting barrel treatment.

Bottle at Moeder Lambic - Brussels. Pours lightly hazy gold with a small, tight, creamy white head. Not bad overall, some ripening citrus, husky straw, soft yeast expression, wheat. Medium bodied with subtle carboantion. Moderate sweetness in the finish, more wheat bread, ripe citrus, melon. Tasty enough.

(750ml bottle shared @ Moeder Fontainas, Apr 30/18, thanks Matt!) Pours murky dark gold with a small white head. Notes of raw slick grainy wort, cereal, wood, soft nuts, bitter grassy medicinal herbs. Softly sweet and towards moderately bitter. Rather thin in the mouth without much carbonation. I had no idea this was vin jaune-aged when I tried it and honestly it just seemed like an off bottle even then, without knowing that people tended to love this. A shame seeing the feedback here, as it just was not a particularly enjoyable beer as a result.

Bottle at Moeder Original. Bit hazy golden with short lasting white head. Spicy yeast, sweaty Brett, sweet vin jaune walnuts, hay, some funk, dank grassy hops, soft marzipan, bitter flowers. It has lots of Brett, but it’s not sour or too dry, I guess in part because of the barrels. Under medium sweet and medium bitter. Medium bodied with medium dry finish. Very good, not the worst beer at all from this already great brewery.

Shared together with the Israeli RB crew! Thanks! 750 ml. bottle split by 4. Clear golden, only some bubbles. Nose is metallic, wine, almost urinal in its funk. Nose isn’t the best,.... Taste is nice, vin jaune, is glorious, barrel is really good, walnut & sweet wine oxidation, white grapes, interesting suflur like notes, funny beer, barrel is really great but the base beer is obliterated, low mineral qualities,... Body is near flat. Very tasty but only thanks to the wine profile, no real beer interplay. I quite liked but just drinking the wine would have been better.
