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.

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.

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.

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?

Kevin W

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bottled 05 JANUARY 2021 - For a less than year old bottle, this is approaching some pretty intense sourness. Most of the relatively fresh bottles I've had recently have been more "jammy" with a much lighter lemony sourness.

I'm initially worried by the strong cinnamon in the nose. Luckily it's not overdone like so many other beers. Chocolate up front. Mild vanilla in the background. Coffee & light-moderate cinnamon in the flavor. Vanilla gets slightly stronger as it warms.

Floral, oak, and faint lemon aroma. Flavor is much lighter than any of the other Editions I've had. Light lemon, citrus, and apple skins up front. Light-moderate oak and mild funk in the finish. Tasty, but one of the more mild geuzes I've had.
