On tap at Moeder Lambic Fontainas, pours a deep dark mahogany, tiny beige head. Aroma is full of balsamic, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of barrel. Flavour is pure acetic acid, with balsamic and Worcestershire sauce… there's not much redeeming quality to this. Super acetic, with little depth. Not impressed.

Hazy rusty brown colour with no head. Aroma is woody and slightly vinegary. Interesting mix of intensely full bodied malt base with sharp vinous acidity. Not too harsh though.

Amber, hazy, no head. The aroma has a nice woody character, subtle balsamic, mild barrelly vinegar. On the palate, it's tart, but restrained in that tartness. Sweet malts, good complexity of barrel character... I imagine that was the vin jaune.
