The Bush Prestige is a Bush Caractère that, rather than maturing in stainless steel tanks, has spent six months finishing in oak barrels.
During the bottling process, small amounts of sugar and yeast are added to the beer so it re-ferments in the bottle during its stay in the brewery’s warm room. This develops the natural yeast cloud and gives the beer its exceptionally high alcohol volume of 13%.
Reviving the traditional use of oak barrels has introduced aromas and tannins that haven’t been experienced in beer for many years. Even the most demanding beer lover will be bowled over by these qualities. Think of the aromas of whisky and other spirits matured on oak coupled with an extraordinarily rounded character.
The Bush Prestige is an exceptional beer thanks to its rounded taste, its rich aromas, the exclusive bottle and the limited distribution.

Bottle. Cloudy brownish with a very small head. Slightly acidic aroma with elements of citrus, portwine, sugar, apples and some alcohol. Fine sweet taste of fruit, yeast, apples, raisin, wood and some pepper. Great mouthfeel, body was medium. Ridiculously easy to drink despite the high alcohol content. A nice beer, no doubt.

Bottle from a beer warehouse in Belgium, where it is almost affordable. Bubbly orange with a strong head. Aroma of brandy and apples. Taste of tropical fruits with a bit of vanilla and wood. Interesting.

Older, cork and caged bottle (newer capped ones available in my area too.). Bought because I got any iBanking Job Offer today! $46.99 Bottle FYI. Cork was extremely volatile when released, but no gushing thankfully. Barely hazy, effervescent golden amber with a huge rocky white head head. A huge head for a barrel aged 13% -er. Tons of lace on each sip, full retention, a looker. Oaky, slightly boozy nose, caramel, cherry, and light rotten fruit in the back ground. Pretty musty. Taste is big and hot with cherry brandy. (kirschwasser), wood, and a oxidized caramel beer beneath. A ton of champagne mixed with cognac beneath. Very boozy, clean and elegant, but not of the subtly world beating flavors you get from de Nuits. Very boozy (the 13% flavor is their to smack you back to reality), lively mouthfeel. Oaky and toffee. Don’t know if this will benefit from more age.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dirty yellow color ale with loads of sediment and a large pure white head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet Belgian malt with notes of light toffee and some dry astringent oak. Taste is quite complex with some sweet apples notes, some sweet Belgian malt, light warming alcohol dry astringent oak. Very complex but still enjoyable and quite easily drinkable. Body is full with limited filtration and great carbonation with minimal alcohol. Very well done but not sure I would have this very often considering the price tag.

Bottle. Orange color. Complex smell with hints of whiskey, raisins, orange and butter. Spicy complex taste. Fruit, malted barley. butter. I’m sure this is a good brew, but I personally dont like this kind of sweet buttery flavors.

750 ml bottle courtesy of JB. Pour is hazed orange, cloudy, with a billowy white head. Aroma is primarily the of yeasty spiciness, oak wood, coriander and an interesting ginger sweetness. Behind that is even some citrus fruit. Very and engaging interesting nose. Taste is big ginger, sweet, orange peel, slightly salty, some acidity present, and the vanilla woodiness from the oak. Nice clean taste. Palate is medium and coating. Clean and drinkable. Thanks for sharing this one JB!

Bottle that I picked up at Dranken Geers March 08 and consumed 01-01-09. Got to be honest I was a little dissapointed by this it poured a hazy orange amber but was as flat as a witches tit, not a bubble or even sign of filmy head in sight. There was plenty of oaky vanilla flavours, bit sweet, rich and tangy, typically Belgian in many ways but to be honest Iost interest in it and wonder whether my bottle was lacking.
