We put the Calvados in a large barrel and add American roasted and toasted oak flakes. After 3 weeks this mixture is ready to be added to the beer in the bright beer tank. This way we obtain a maximum performance of the used liquor strengthened with the taste of the used oak flakes to enrich our beer.

Moi qui pensais en avoir fini avec ces Lazarus, et bien non, la Calvados Infused s'était cachée pour mieux réapparaître. Forcé de constater que le temps ne l'a pas bonifié. J'ai cherché le calvados pendant 33 cl sans le trouver. C'est donc finalement quelque peu soulagé que je clos ce chapitre. En verre, nous sommes sur un blond orangé surmonté d'une mousse blanc cassé de 2 cm. L'effervescence, fine est poussée. Le nez, âpre est sur le candy, les céréales avec une levure aux accents de banane relativement présente. Pas plus de calvados à la dégustation avec un cocktail aromatique brouillon, âpre et des épices qui s'y ajoutent. Une acidité trop marquée est également présente à l'attaque. La deuxième bouche, d'une bonne présence est davantage marquée sur le malt et les épices. L’arrière-bouche est linéaire. L'alcool, à 8,5% est quelque peu agressif mais reste correct. Le final, où l'on retrouve de l'acidité n'est pas très agréable. 4 variantes, 4 ratés.
