Sampled bottled @ Bierfestival Brugge 2016. Thank you for sharing! Lower shade of dark brown with an off-white head. Nose is sweet boozy sugar, spirit, caramel, sugar, mocha, less thick than expected. Taste is basic sugar, candy caramel, dash cacao, mocha, sugar, sweet mocha, low warming spirit, candy, low oak, touch warming spirit. Body is lower alcohol, mocha basic sugar. Could have been thicker, less nuanced than expected. Good beer but I was bracing myself a bit for Grand Marnier which I love but didn’t really get here. Basically I missed the orange. I am still not sure if Grand Marnier is aged with the sugar, essence of bitter orange etc. in the barrel or if it is added afterwards if the second is the case well than this is basically just Cognac BA Préaris Grand Cru. I need a bigger pore possible to muse over this one but I am terrible at writing down secondary rating notes. I would love to see a version of this with bitter orange extract added & possible even more sweetness (it already has plenty of sweetness), some cacao nibs would be cool while I am musing here. I think that I might have enjoyed this one more if I wasn’t looking so much for Grand Marnier. This is simple but good & enjoyable.
