Description

Cantillon Faro is sugar sweetened lambic that was generally only available on cask around Brussels and at festivals (though it has not been done for years). Cantillon Faro blends Jonge Lambic aged for about a year with caramelized sugar adding sweetness, slight roastiness, and color. ^[1]

History

While Shelton describes Cantillon Faro as something which is never bottled^[1], fact is that it wasn't done as a regular bottling, but Jean-Pierre Van Roy confirmed that on occasions during (mostly during the 1970s and 1980s) customers would request a handful of bottles that were done on the spot, with only a cork (so no extra cap, as candied sugar was added and drinking it as fast as possible was required to avoid refermentation as a level that would cause the bottle to explode) and most of the time without any markings, though a label has occasionally been used and appears on a full bottle on display at Musée des Bières belges.
