Collaboration with Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen
A blend of old lambik and a rustic saison from Brasserie de Silly, which has undergone an extra year of bottle conditioning and ageing.
Munk was produced to support and benefit the Heetveldemolen NPO in Tollembeek. This mixed fermentation blond beer is a blend of Silly Saison and 1-year old 3 Fonteinen lambic. The blend was aged in oak barrels for one and a half years and was bottled on March 4, 2020. Very limited edition: only 2,550 bottles of 75 cl were made. The Heetveldemolen is depicted on the label. The name of the beer comes from the Munkbaan where the watermill is located. Carolus de Munck from Lennik bought the watermill in 1855 from the noble Mrs. Herpigny and Mr. Paul Nechelput, the mayor of Tollembeek, whose brother Karel ran both the windmill and the watermill of Heetvelde castle. The watermill is located on the river Mark, where Brasserie de Silly uses the water for brewing. 3 Fonteinen uses grains that are ground in the Heetveldemolen.

A 750ml corked and caged bottle, bottle number 405/2550, bottled on 4th March 2020. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour, with a big two finger white head that had good retention, and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Funky, barnyard, damp wood, musty, citrus, lemon lime blend.
Taste: Bready, lemon, peppery, light funk, wood, with notes of orange rind.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light bodied with high carbonation.
Overall: The Saison was dominant here, especially the peppery spicy notes, while the lambic was just in the background. It was fine, but not among my favourites.

A rather explosive uncorking, surprisingly I spilled nary a drop, swiftly catching the overflowing foam into the intended glass where the body filled to a foggy burnt orange to amber with a tall khaki head settling to a fuzzy film leaving one chunky layer of lace.
Like a classic lambic mixed with strains of saison, Belgian pale and even hefe, it starts with tart grapefruit cut by bitter, bretty funk before the yeast develops a little pear and even some toasty banana and zucchini breads.
The medium-light body has a fine fizz that comes to a tingly, semi-dry finish exhaling more pear skin.
