Lambic d'Haute Densité, or High Density Lambic, is an experimental lambic brewed to attain a high alcohol content. The final result is a 9.1%ABV and 8° Plato beer with little carbonation. Cantillon has described this beer as being "close to a Barley Wine or an oxidized wine like Madeira, Sherry or Vin Jaune."
== History / Other Notes ==
The creation of Lambic d'Haute Densité started in 2010 when Cantillon brewed a high-alcohol lambic resulting in a 9.7% ABV beer with 8° Plato residual sugar. This was repeated in 2011 resulting in a lambic of 8.7% ABV. The brewery wrote in June of 2013 that "because of the high alcohol level, we had no more evolution after 2 years and we decide to blend those two brews and to bottle it in February of this year." Thus the Lambic d'Haute Densité was born.
