Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom’s place. Thanks Vova. Hazy golden. Aroma of vanilla, caramel, malt, a bit of bourbon. Very sweet flavor, sickly sweet, with vanilla, caramel, a bit of of vermouth, a spicy note, and a bit of alcohol. Way too sweet and kinda hard to drink.

From tap. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild fruity and vanilla. Sweet, vanilla and slight citric. Sweet malty and dense canilla into the finish. Unusual, but nice.

330ml bottle. Pours hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma of wood, tons vanilla, spices, slight alcohol. Taste of tons of vannilla, sweet, honey, caramell, very tasty!

0.33 l bottle from Bierpost, bottle No. 74, best before 15/2/2016. Slightly hazy, orangeish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish, malty aroma of candy sugar, orange blossom, honey, vanilla and bourbon. Sweetish, malty taste of vanilla, honey, orange blossom, cinnamon and candy sugar, followed by a medium long, slightly bitter, minimally alcoholic and warming finish with notes of bourbon. Medium body, slightly oily and creamy mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. The vanilla comes more to the fore in the taste and is pleasant, not penetrating. The 10% abv are almost not noticable, but it is more a sipper. Very good!

Tap at Craftbeerfestival Magdeburg. Deep golden in the glass, nice head. Extreme intense vanilla aroma. Starts very sweet, not alcoholic, extreme vanilla notes. Tastes not really like beer. Very light dry notes in the background. Very interesting beer, but hard to compare with others.

Draft sample @ Berlin Braufest 2015. Trouble orangée, col blanc-cassé. Arôme met de suite l’accent sur la vanille qui est très dominante avec un rétro-nasal herbacé modéré de forêt. Palais reste, ici aussi, centré sur la vanille avec un ajout herbacé rappelant la mousse de sous-bois qui contrebalance une certaine douceur avec un fini plus rustique. Malt reste plus en retrait, et les 9% se font bien vite ressentir tout en gardant une bonne buvabilité.
