Dark chocolate, light espresso, and faint bourbon nose. Dark chocolate starts up front. It blends nicely with the espresso, faint vanilla, and bourbon in the finish. Definitely the best variant I've had since the regular Espresso variant.

23 DECEMBER 2021-Very vinuos on the nose with some light musty funk and just a touch of barnyard. Lots of grape up front...starts slightly sweet but turns more tart in the finish. Tart grape mixes with lemon, red wine, grape skins, and oak in the finish.

14 MARCH 2020 (pretty sure on the month...guessing on the day) - Super jammy on the nose, but not so much in the flavor. Rather sour with some acidity. Significantly drier with more oak than any RdG I've ever had. No jammy notes in the flavor at all.

HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend (2021) W
Lots of citrus and cheesy funk. Flavor is slowly improving and the explosive cork remains unrivaled.

17 AUGUST 20222 - Wanted to drink this before acidity really settled in like the 2021 bottle I had a few months ago. It's starting to creep in, so I'm glad I'm drinking this now instead of sitting on it.

27 JUNE 2022 - There's always bottle variation, but this one has more sweet apple character than the average bottle.

Still a good amount of coffee. More smoke than spice for me. I don't get much barrel.

Mikkeller Oude Geuze (Old Calvados Casks Blend) W
Had to grab another bottle. This one has a little more cork and apple. Excellent, but not quite as good as the 1st bottle.

Mikkeller Oude Geuze (Old Calvados Casks Blend) W
Really nice citrus, lemon, and light grapefruit combination with some light yogurt funk and oak in the finish. I can't say I really notice any Calvados notes.
over 1 year ago
Big tart peach on the aroma with a hint of barnyard. Lots of tart peach in the flavor with a good dose of acidic lemon. Still great, but I bet this was better 6-12 months ago. I like tart with a touch of acidity. This is a little too much acidty.

over 1 year ago
26 NOVEMBER 2020 - Hasn't changed much in the 2+ years since I last had it. Mild barnyard in the aroma is now present. Less sweet grape and more musty/dusty funky grape in the flavor.

One month later this has gone full blown Lizard of Koz...which is absolutely not a beer for me...just way too sweet.

Lots of caramel/toffee and maple syrup up front. Moderate nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon in the finish. Solid, but the maple syrup barrel probably added more sweetness than I prefer.

14 DECEMBER 2020 - Still good, but the acidity is pretty intense in this bottle. Jammy raspberry is all but gone. Without question my lowest rated bottle of RdG.

Barrel Aged Peanut Butter Stout (Mothership Series) W
Chocolate & peanut butter on the nose. I don't notice any barrel in the aroma. A quick dose of chocolate up front before the peanut butter mostly takes over. Bourbon sneaks in at the very end, but it's pretty mild. Thanks Michael!

12 January 2022 - I didn't realize 2022 bottles were aged in Cognac, Rum, and Marsala barrels. There's definitely a more fruity/grape and spirit driven nose compared to past bottles I've had. The flavor is a little more fruity, sweet, and vinous too.

Cellar cleaning continues (not that this is all that old). Really tasty and there's plenty of shelf life left, but what improvements would anyone be hoping for with more time?
over 2 years ago
Cherry and coffee just aren't a good combo for me. In the aroma they cancel out the bourborn and it comes across as straight alcohol. It all meshes together better in the flavor, but ultimately roasty cherries aren't my thing.
over 2 years ago
Total barnyard and hay aroma with maybe a hint of grape skins. Eventually I get some berries or grapes. Flavor starts with tart grapes. Big funky barnyard and hay aroma. Possibly the funkiest Cantillon I've had.

15 DECEMBER 2021 - Lemon, brett, faint sour apple, and funk. There's so much variation bottle to bottle (even amongst the same batches), but this bottle is up there with the best Cantillon Gueuze bottles I've had.

Grand Cru Bruocsella Brut Bxl Beerfest V.2022 W
Tart lemon, apple, light funk, must, faint cognac, and the slightest hint of vinegar sneaks in.

13 MAY 2022 - Almost perfect balance of sour/tart and jammy raspberry with some funk mixed in.
over 2 years ago
Liquid french toast with just a hint of Scotch Ale in the finish...only because I know it's there. Pushes my limits for what I want in a beer, but still tasty. Splitting a bottle is probably ideal for me.

15 FEBRUARY 2021 - Delicious, but starting to get pretty acidic

03 March 2021 - Light apple/pear up front. The finish has a lot of white wine notes mixed with lemon, a touch of vinegar, and a slight hint of funky blue cheese.

Big time coffee bomb. Considering how sweet regular WWS is...how much coffee did they use to cover that up? The 17% is completely hidden as well. Nice, but a little aggressive on the coffee since there's no real sign of the base WWS.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2019) W
20 OCTOBER 2019 - Confident the year is correct and pretty sure on the month, but making my best guess on the day. One of the more funky bottles of the regular Gueuze I've had from Cantillon.
almost 3 years ago
17 december 2020 - Vinous grapes, funk, and light-moderate tartness. A little more tartness would hit the sweet spot for me.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2021) W
04 AUGUST 2021 - More tart, dry, and funky than the 2019 bottle I had last week. If I drank them blind, I would have picked this to be the older bottle.

HORAL's Oude Geuze Mega Blend (2021) W
Still the undisputed champion for most explosive cork popping. I couldn't include the cork in the pic because I haven't a clue where it is. If I opened this outside, I'm not sure it would have landed yet.

I like it, but this tastes like it has a 3+ years age on it.

I see there's a strawberry version of this. I feel like I'm already tasting strawberries in the base beer.

5 JANUARY 2021 - Not even close to as acidic as the last bottle I had with the same date.

Lots of cocoa up front, but fortunately for me there's still enough roasted coffee/espresso in the finish to balance things out. I've passed on the BA version of this a few times, but I'm going to have to grab one the next time I see it.
