Jun 27, 2008 750. Thanks, Hogfodder! What a dandy little beer this is, truly. Pours a still and rather subdued looking medium amber. No head, no lace. Big cherry, vinegar, and red wine grape nose. Medium body, not much life to it. No carb, no malty depth. Light vinegary sour, plus cherries, washing into a big mineraly finish. Nice stuff. The cognac is most detectable in the nose.

Jun 14, 2008 750ml bottle thanks to jeppe for sending this one over the pond....pours a semi-transparent orangey-brown with a thin white soapy head that diminishes after a few minutes.....aroma was nice. a not too overbearing sour funkiness with some citric acid tart. there might be subtle cognac notes but i can’t truly pinpoint them....flavor was really smooth with the typical cantillon character. the cognac smoothens things out nicely with even a mild sweetness in the finish, allowing it to just peak through. a very nice balance all around. mouthfeel was still pretty sprite and it goes down well.

Jun 12, 2008 Bottle: Poured a murky orange with a white thin head. The aroma was funky with a slight cognac smell. The taste was sour but not overwhelming with a thangness and cognac.

Jun 10, 2008 Bottle, vintage 2005, 3 years old at Yeast fest 08. Pours a cloudy light yellow orange body. Aroma is cognac and sour funkiness. Flavor is very buttery, i really like it. A light easy to drink cognac comes into play with a sour ending and some acidity present. I’ll definately open this again.

Jun 9, 2008 750ml bottle; Cork dated 2007. This poured hazy yellowish gold in color with a quickly diminishing white fizzy head. The aroma is typical of most Cantillons. Sour, barnyard, funk. This one had some citric in the aroma as well. The taste was a little more subdued compared to other Cantillons which punch you in the jaw. There were solid notes, of lemon citrus. I picked up a bit more oak which made this Cantillon drier in the finish. This was very nice.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil. Flavor of cognac followed by sourness. Very interesting. Not sure if I’m a fan or not, will have to revisit this one.

Jun 8, 2008 The body was hazy gold with a thin white head. The aroma was sour lemons with some floral character. There was also some hints of sweat and sweet apples. The taste was fairly tart with some flowers and bread crust. The finish was very dry. A nice Cantillon, but nothign about this one really stood out to me.
