To the eye, an intense brown beer, with bright glints and creamy foam.
On the nose, woody notes and delicate hints of pears as well as plums.
On the palate, the barrel-ageing provides bread crust, roasting and smoky aromas, enhanced by a touch of honey and vanilla.
34% french oak
41% american oak

Аромат шикарен и очень классический. В первую очередь ощущается темные фрукты, затем немного дрожжей как от дюббеля, отдает легкими специями и карамелью с нотками лакрицы. Также ассоциации с алкоголем и вискарем все же есть. Цвет темный, пена хорошая, и очень стойкая. Вкус тоже очень хорош и сбаласнирован. По большей части ощущаются все те же темные фрукты. Снова немного карамели, дрожжи, при глотке легкая кислинка. В послевкусие все же появляются стойкие вкусовые ноты от виски, не сказать что они все идут в плюс этому пиву. Все равно при этом все довольно мягко. Также есть бочковые ноты, немного земли и сливы, намеки на изюм и лакрицу и даже мед, но все таки это просто все тот же отличный и до боли классический вкус Бельгийского эля с нотами бочки и виски.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour with brief beige head. Malty nose with notes of dried fruit, caramel, oak wood, vanilla, clove, sweet liquorice, brown bread, ripe pears, marzipan and a touch of violets. Malty taste with caramel, whisky barrel, dried fruit, vanilla, clove, sweet liquorice, nuts, brown bread, brown sugar and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite sweet. Tasty, well balanced and harmonious, with a good barrel character. Very nice.
