Cantillon Cuvée Mozart is a raspberry lambic with a small amount of vanilla (at the time, Jean-Pierre Van Roy was adding vanilla to his classic raspberry lambic, [[Cantillon_Framboise|Framboise]], to make the acidity of the fruit softer). It was aged in port barrels and released in 1991. It was bottled in 750 mL format and is 5% ABV.

==History / Other Notes==

The port barrels came from the same delivery as the ones used for the original batch of [[Cantillon_Brabantiae|Brabantiae]]. This beer is similar to the classic [[Cantillon_Framboise|Framboise]] at the time, except for the use of these particular barrels that added port qualities.

Cuvée Mozart was created for a club of people associated with the Cirque Royale/Koninklijk Circus (Royal Circus) in Brussels, who often feature classical music concerts.

This bottling was done to celebrate the Mozart Year in 1991 (the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s death). A series of concerts were held in a park in Brussels each Saturday from May to August, where Jean-Pierre and Jean Van Roy would attend for the entire duration to pour the beer.

Bottles were for sale at the brewery in the summer of 1991.
