1 March 2025. At Winter Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks to hosting, Tim & Marina, and cheers to the whole crew!

Vintage 2021. No head. Cassis, carré confiture, brambleberry, malt vinegar, ink, dark furniture. Sour black- & brambleberry, some lemon, some umami black olive even, ink. Tart berries, bit woody & lemony in the finish. Flat carbonation, oily texture. I don't what it is but I love it.

Whisky-style bottle @ Belgian Beer Geeks Winter Gathering. Dark mahogany appearance, no head. Interesting, good sharp dark sour character, Cantillon used apparently.. some dried dark fruits, soy, carried well by that sharp definition.. dark blackberry hints. Lovely.

Bottle shared at Brewver Belgian Winter Gathering. Dark brown color, no head. Smell and taste are odd, sour, light vinegar. I can't properly describe this. Weird. 6-5-5-6-5

Bouteille 50cl pourvue d’un simple bouchon – pas de BB – achetée chez Mi-Orge, Arlon en avril 2022 sur la route de l’Espagne.
Couleur brune-cuivrée, pas de col.
Arôme sur un caractère presque de vieille brune avec un bouquet ‘sour’ rappelant le lambic Cantillon – funk délicat, cellier le tout repris en rétro-nasal par une note de cerise noire, prune, mûres.
Palais est plutôt faiblard en effervescence ce qui accentue un peu l’effet balsamique, je m’attendais à pire vu le bouchon présenté. Le tout est finement funk, vinaigré mais maîtrisé sans être certain que cela était voulu au départ – retour fruité de cerise noirs, groseille et cassis, touche de mûres avec un malté en appui, plus sur le caramel pâle voire léger crystal.
