Geuze Lambic

sparkling · Orge maltée, Froment · Pajottenland · Belgique — 8–10°C

Belgian Pajottenland Geuze Lambic (blend of young and old lambics spontaneously fermented with wild Brettanomyces yeasts in the Senne valley breweries, bottle re-fermentation) — green apple, lemon, leather and sharp acidity form the obvious Belgian regional pairing for Liège waffles; shares Belgian origin, taut acidity slicing the caramelised pearl sugar on the surface, fine bubbles lifting the brioche-yeast batter rich in AOP Walloon butter.

Cidre Doux Breton

sparkling · Pommes · Bretagne · France — 6–8°C

Sweet Breton cider (Avrolles-Guillevic-Domaines apple juice short-fermented in artisanal method, residual sugar 28-42g/L) — golden apple, caramel, honey and fine bubbles convivially accompany pearl-sugar Liège waffles; caramelised apple DIRECTLY mirroring the pearl-sugar grains caramelising on the surface during cooking in the hot waffle iron, baked-apple character balancing the butter-rich brioche batter, bubbles lifting the honeycomb crumb.

Champagne Demi-Sec

sparkling · Chardonnay, Pinot Noir · Champagne · France — 7–9°C

Demi-Sec Champagne (Chardonnay-Pinot Noir-Pinot Meunier blend, traditional method minimum 15 months on lees, 32-50g/L dosage) — autolytic brioche, vanilla, baked apple and fine bubbles elegantly accompany Liège waffles for a Sunday brunch; brioche character DIRECTLY mirroring the brioche-yeast batter characterising Liège (vs Brussels) waffles, fine bubbles lifting the honeycomb cells, demi-sec dosage balancing the caramelised pearl sugar.
