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.

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.

Barrel aged for 6 years and bottled in 2019. Heavy and complex, lots of wood in with the spice, sweet and tart.

Acidic funky prune and fig. Whisper of sour golden raisin and booze. Old oak backdrop. Definite port wine vibes. Dig it!

Tastes like a BW and is still. By itself is way too much but pairs well with a gueuze.

Huge. Rich boozy sweetness laced over the acidic kick of Cantillon lambic. Glorious

Like a barely wine, but slightly tart and much lighter. Not for everyone but I really enjoy this!

The sherry description of the brewery isn't too far off. Love the fruitiness and wine like tones. Aftertones remind me of the whiskywharehouse smell

Lots of "good" oxidation flavors (plum, cherry). Reminds me of an old Ale.

Quite interesting. Vinous, like a fortified wine. Has the sourness you would expect from Cantillon. Reminds me very much of a tawny port with age.
