Commercial Description:
This is the result of blending black cherries lambic of different ages followed by a second fermentation in the bottle. Storage is similar like geuze. All bottles are champagne corked and can be reserved, in normal conditions, for more than thirty years. It is obvious that an amazing taste evolution takes place.

Cloudy red color with no head. Amazing aroma and flavor of acid and funky cherries covered in dust. The fruit really jumps out to grab the tastebuds, I like that ! Light body, very soft carbonation. As in Hanssens’ Oude Gueuze the funkyness adds an amazing dimension to the lambic, so far these are some of my favorite lambics. Merci Olivier !

looks like a glass of prune juice that screams your gonna take good hot s**T later. Very very funky bretty sour aromas lots of sour cherries in the taste with the same wild crazy flavors that you get in the nose takes a long time to drink because there is so much going on ih the flavor and aroma a litte vinegar puckering in the end great for a change

Bottle sampled on 09/26/08 at Night of the Funk. Pours a cloudy red with a small light pink head. Aroma and flavor is quite tart and funky and sour. Some sweet cherry, maybe some fish (?), and acidic notes. Pretty good but a little acidic and there was something odd about it that I couldn’t pin down.

Bottle from 08 Night of the Funk. Aroma of funked up cherries. Flavor of wood, acidic cherries, bretty cherries, just marvelously classic. No bells and whistles, but so fantastic.

375 ml bottle. Clear, dark red body with a thin, disappearing head. Aroma is an acidic sour, cellar note and cherry. Flavor is sour, acidic, cherry and dry, bitter wood. Very dry finish.

Ruby red color and cloudy with a good sized white head. Aroma is sour and fruity. Taste is of tart cherries fresh off the tree that mellows to a soft sweet cherry taste. Dry and delicious.
