Hugues Dubuisson is always on the lookout for extraordinary products. It was in this spirit that he came up with the idea of maturing Bush Triple in oak barrels, which had previously been used to store white Burgundy wine, more specifically the famous Charmes Meursault.
So the brewery bought 13 of these 228 litre barrels in which to produce its Bush Prestige de Charmes.
Thanks to this exceptional procedure, Bush Prestige de Charmes offers an extraordinarily rich taste on the palette.

0.75l bottle. Hazy golden body with a huge white head. Aroma of bread, white wine, apples, nutmeg, lemon zest and a tiny bit of vinegar. Taste of bread, white wine, lemon zest, sugar syrup and nutmeg. The white wine character is in the center for sure. Great beer.

Bottle: Poured a hazy dirty golden color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of candi sugar with some vinous notes and some light oak notes. Taste is a mix of sweet Belgium malt offset by some grapes and vinous notes with some residual sugar notes with some oak which add some dryer notes. Body is full with great carbonation. Rich complex beer with wine barrel balancing some of the richness.

Bush de Charmes Bottle split at L42, thanks to Kenneth, 23/01/17. Hazed orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is yeast esters, spice, caramel, light booze dance, tangy orange. Taste comprises light funky notes, tangy fruit rinds, boosty, light spice, caramel, yeast flicker. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a rising alcohol level. Solid enough Belgoo string if a little harsh in places.

Level 42 Bottleshare. Very hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry with a trailing fine crispness. Smooth light malts, sweetish, light cream. Floral sweetness. Pleasant white wine vibe with a touch of white port. Trace of bubblegum esters. Very drinkable.
