4oz pour at Max's Belgian Fest is a rootbeer brown, thin white head. Nose is muddled, chewy malts, some candy, some yeast, nail polish, dates. Flavor has more and is better, malt, bread, raisin, date, some Brett, some grappa. Finishes thick, sweet and spicy. 4oz sample was enough. 6 3 7 2 12

hazy brown colour, moderate sized creamy beige-ish ecru head; aroma of vanilla, toffee, dried sour cherry and some dark chocolate (or rather sour cherry bonbon made with dark chocolate); taste is quite similar to the aroma; quite good one!

0.75l bottle thanks to Lore. Hazy brown body with a thin yolk head. Sour cherry comes first in the aroma followed by orange zest, oak, nutmeg and burnt sugar. Taste is pretty similar to the aroma with much less sour cherry. Sweet and smooth. Nice one.

Poured from the tap. Clear copper brown with small beige head. Caramel malt, dark dried fruit, some softness coming from the chardonnay, but it doesn’t really mesh well.

Tap at Beergeek Bar. Brownish-red, murky body, some off-white head. Apple esters are strong with this one in the aroma, peach notes, maltiness, mint, lovely and ocmplex. The taste is less enticing. Lean, minty notes, oxidized maltiness, peachy notes, jammy notes, raisins. Sweet and fresh suddenly going astringent around the edges in the finish, kinda lowering the initial excitement. Don't see that many strong barrel notes, but the beer is really specific and interesting.

Many thanks for this beer to all Team of Belbiere. As a Gift. Vintage 2018 chardonnay barrel aged. Scotch Ale made in Belgium. troche tu ta beczka nie pasuje, jasny szczep do ciemnego piwa. zginelo to wszystko, nie ma owocow bialych, beczka nic nie wyczuwalna, szkoda, ale co nie zmienia faktu ze piwo jest dobre, ba nawet bardzo dobre. piekna trwala piana kremowa, lekko bezowa, barwa czerwono-brazowa, lekko mgliste pod koniec serwowania do gulaszu z jelenia. pyszne, alko ukryte, wyraznie rodzynkowe, ciemne owoce, nieco posmaku gozkich pestek moreli.

Caña en Cimmeria 28..12..2019 Color amarillento velado con espuma blanca. Sabores maltosos y cereales dulces con toques avinados y maderas. Suaves dulces. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio y bastante sabor. Buena densidad. Bastante buena para repetir.

750 c&c from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours moderately dark brown with a creamish beige head. Aroma of tart white grape and slightly musty wood. Beer? Med body at least. Flavor is not very tart white grape and slightly musty wood, but now there's nice mildly roasty malt with an underlying peat/smoky note. Not really dry. Not really bitter. Just tastes good.
