Lambic D’Haute Densité

Lambic - Traditional

The result is surprising. The beer is amber, without carbonation, and comes in at 9.1% ABV and 8° Plato residual sugar. It's close to a Barley Wine or an oxidized wine like Madeira, Sherry or Vin Jaune. Even more surprising is that when we forgot a half-empty bottle, th beer was still good when we tasted it....after 8 days. This beer will be poured for the first time next weekend in Portland (Maine) for The Festival organised by Shelton Brothers and 12% imports.

Highest ABV achieved via spontaneous fermentation. Definitely tastes rich like a Madeira; toffee and caramel notes while being surprisingly easy to drink and crave-able. Fantastic way to end our visit at the one and only Cantillon. 🥰

Totally unique for me for now and therefore special. Taste is a combination of a sour lambic without nearly any carbonation due to the long storage in barrels & bottles and the taste of a barley wine. Tastes perfect in its way so show me something better.

For a strong beer, that had a barely wine upfront taste, the finish was amazing!

Crazy. The first sip is abrasive. Then mellows. But doesn’t mellow.

Very sherry like in flavour, but t also tastes like a slightly sour barley wine. Incredibly thick, smooth and strong. Dry red wine finish. 20cl is certainly enough! 😂

Dark amber, almost brown, clear, no head. Nose is prune, oloroso, nice dark wood, brown mirabelle. Leather and condensed milk. Taste is smooth and heavier, soft, tannic, wood. Long lasting. Some very shy acetic waves. Red fruits sheets. Close to a Madeira

Very rich flavour due to the oxidation. Very different to your usual lambic.

쌍화탕의 느낌이 있는 향이 신기하다. 확실히 고도수라는 것이 느껴진다. 달달하기도 하지만 은근한 산미랑 잘 어울린다

Strange. Unexpected. Viscous. Bitter, sour, tannines, sweet. It’s killing me.

This is more of an oxidised wine or beer than a lambic, way to alcoholic and unbalanced

Color y aspecto muy de licor. Aroma suave. Con cuerpo medio, entra suave y deja un sensación mitad amargor, mitad picor. Bastante extraña. Más que una cerveza parece un vino rancio sin el toque avinagrado. Muy maltosa, mucha azúcar pero no es nada dulce

Sweet and flat, but quite tart. Ends up worse than the lambics but an interesting experiment.

Very interesting. If a port wine and a lambic collided. An experiment

On est entre un lambic et un barley wine. Assez déroutant au début, c'est fun mais à petite dose.

One of the craziest beers I’ve ever consumed. Was like motor oil mixed with lambic.
