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.

Super grain-forward. Was a bit apprehensive, but I ended up being a big fan of this.

c'est bon, mais parfois l'impression de boire du bois liquide

Aged in a barrel for 4 years, in the bottle for 3 years. Grape/wine and dark fruit aroma. There is a big barrel character up front, it starts sweet with hints of cherries and raisins. Heads then to an acidic sour dark red wine taste with excessive…

Complex for sure. Doesn't taste at all like a 9.1!

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

Maderia like qualities this one, maybe not my brothers favourite but a nice lunchtime sipper

Lambic vieilli 6 ans en tonneau - Assez liquoreux en bouche, attaque proche d’un barley wine, vin cuit, confir, très porté sur la noix, sèche, en fin de gorgée. Surprenant mais agréable

Super heavily flavored beer. Figs for days, some plum and raisons, and a bit of anise. Very cool but a sipper for sure

Wow - very interesting. Very complex flavors ranging from Mild tartness to Brett character to mild roast to some melanoidin like notes. Medium+ body.

Very low carbonation. Sweet up front with a semi dry finish. Drinks similar to a port or vin santo with a slight sourness

Wysoko procentowy lambiczek 🤯 W smaku niesamowicie ciekawe skrzyżowanie lambika z barley wine. Pyszne ale kieliszek w zupełności starczy.

Interesting story - brewed in 2013 and bottled in 2019. Intense. Quite sour and somewhat tart up front. Bone dry with an earthiness to it. Some dried fruit notes and a touch of wood. Some herbal notes as well. Boozy but subtle with it.

What to do when you have 2 hours to kill in Brussels. Well, you either attempt to get on an earlier train (failed) or you go to Cantaillon and hope to Christ almighty above it's open. I lucked out! This beer is the 2019, very tart. Refeshing

Sow, dit is een smaakbom! Port, en madeiratonen, karamel, vanille. Jammer dat er geen koolzuur op zit, dat mis ik wel

Bonus stop on the way back home. Exactly what it says, a boozer more intense lambic.

Very different than anything I’ve had before. Viscous and tart. Alcohol burn.

Pure rancio. Raisins, sultanas, polished oak and stacks of gentle sourness.
