CraftBeerNick (9237) - Wokingham, Berkshire, ENGLAND - APR 18, 2024UPDATED: APR 18, 2024 2016 Bottle at the Cantillon Brewery, 18th April 2024. Pours an off clear orange. Aroma is wood, barrel, liquor, musty, complex. Taste is intense, musty, wood, liquor, tart, you can taste the age. It’s lovely and mellow, classic stuff
mcberko (41896) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 7, 2024UPDATED: MAR 7, 2024 750mL bottle, pours a bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of barnyard funk, tangy vinous notes, and a touch of leather. Flavour is tangy, with plenty of wine tang, gentle funk, leather, and some citrus. Very tangy, citrusy; unusual wine barrel character. Far from my favourite Cantillon, but this is very nice of course.

brokensail (21480) - San Diego, California, USA - SEP 4, 2023UPDATED: SEP 4, 2023 Oysters & Gueuze 2023. Cloudy golden beer with a white head. Has a lot of grape character to it. Brandy, sherry, and vanilla notes as well. Tart grape and citrus with a mild funk. Actually has a decent sweetness to it. Get a really nice fruit character as it warms that is balanced pretty well, particularly how acidic I find a lot of Cantillon's beers. Solid.
