2) '''<u>Wort in barrel</u>''' - Wort was placed directly into an uncleaned barrel for a maturation period of approximately two years. This experimental batch was bottled but never released, as the test was not deemed successful. The beer was white and viscous. Some bottles were used at a private beer dinner for cooking purposes.
==La Vie est Belge2016==Based on the success of finishing lambic in Vin Jaune barrels, Cantillon reproduced the results in 2016, calling the beer La Vie est Belge. This beer was debuted for onsite consumption at [[Cantillon_Quintessence|Cantillon Quintessence]] in May of 2016, served and raffled at the 2016 [http://www.brewsfornewavenues.org/ Brews for New Avenues] event, and sold for charity at Monk's Cafe in Philadelphia during the 2016 [[Cantillon_Zwanze_Day|Zwanze Day]] festivities. Bottled February 15, 2016, this batch featured lambic that had previously been aged in oak barrels and then finished in Vin Jaune barrels.
A second batch of La Vie est Belge was bottled on December 27-December-, 2016(Jean's birthday). This batch combined two barrels of 3 year old lambic finished in Vin Jaune barrels for 9 months with one barrel of lambic wort added directly to Vin Jaune barrels and aged for 2 years. One of the 2016 versions of La Vie est Belge was available onsite for the public brewing session in March 2017.
