== Reported Counterfeit Bottles ==
In June of 2012 , a thread was started on [http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/counterfeit-cantillon-john-chris-nomad.23309/ BeerAdvocate] by a member claiming to have received a counterfeit bottle of Jean Chris Nomad 2011. The user contended that "authentic labels have razor-sharp graphics, whereas the counterfeit labels contain graphics which are granular and were printed on a high-quality printer" and that he also confirmed this with Jean Van Roy at Cantillon. The user later noted that one should ''"look very closely at the label, particularly the "Nomad" text. The red and black areas should be pure, and the transitions from black to red around the letters should be razor sharp, with no granularity or pixelization. The rear label should have a pure white background with sharp black text, even the extremely small text here is sharp on the genuine label. The counterfeit rear label has a slight pinkish background with less sharp text, the smallest of which, down at the bottom of the back label, is just a blur."''
It is unclear how many, if any, of the alleged counterfeit bottles were traded or opened.
