I Obviously aged sample /I No head after a couple of seconds; fully clear purplish-brown beer. Red fruit in booze, floral notes, whisky. More bitter impression in the mouth, drier; fruity notes, dried fruit as figs. Whisky is obvious. Finish is fruity sweet, going into dried apricot. Slick, lean, oily texture, warming. Surprising!! One of the best Gaverhopke tries ever. I Thx to Stef! /I

Botella de 33cl en casa beni bar en junio de 2012. De zombier. Esperaba mas sabores ahumados y tostados y sobretodo de maderas de barril de whisky. De olor negro con cuerpo medio, se bebe muy bien pero sigue siendo demasiado dulce y demasiado belga. No esta mal

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, dark amber to brown colour with a small and tanned frothy head. Belgian yeast-spicy character with notes of dried fruits/raisins, mildly toasted malt and delicately woody notes of vanilla. Moderately sweet and delicately sour flavour, medium to full bodied with a calm carbonation. Fruity and mildly toasted malty base with notes of prunes, a touch of raisins, caramel and vanilla; sweet and slightly sour-fruity, if not delicately lactic finish. No revelation, but has some lighter attributes of a Flemish Red. 06.X.13

Bottle at Bierboom, Bruges. It pours deep ruby with a small beige head. The nose is tangy fruit, cherry, blackcurrant, whisky, faint vanilla and wood. The taste is tart berry, red grape, blackcurrant, cherry, jam, wood and light alcohol with a dry finish. Med+ body and fine carbonation. Not much to it, but it is rather tasty. Hides abv very well indeed.

Bottle shared by Joes. Dark red brown color, no head at all. Aroma of wood and a touch of sourness. Taste some sourness that’s actually quite overwhelming. Why would you bottle this? It’s more like red fruits and red wine instead of whisky. Basically it just sucks.

33cl bottle courtesy of 77ships @ Post Toer de Geuze tasting. Fresh. Trouble ambrée, col moyen blanc cassé. Arôme donne de suite ces notes des 11%, avec un bouquet belge typique. Palais est ici aussi bien alcoolisé suivi de qcq notes de cask boisé pour un whisky très léger. Pétillant moyen mais qui termine assez plat. Malté avec ce profil fruité fermenté. Au final la bière est un peu partout, et on se perd à savoir le but original de la bière.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Gaverhopke Extra Special Aged On Whisky Barrel Edition 2012 (by 't Gaverhopke):
Aroma: 7/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 6/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 10/20, MyTotalScore: 2.9/5
22/IV/13 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ Rampkrot (Deurne) - BB:XII/2016 (2013-363) Thanks to 77ships for sharing the bottle!
Little cloudy deep red orange beer, small off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: lots of orange peel, caramel, nutty, lots of alcohol, sugary, smells very oxidized. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sour, red wine, more sourish, unpleasant bitterness that collides with the sour taste, cranberries and bitter grape peels. Aftertaste: sourish, lemony, dry, more lemony, red grape peel, bitter ending. Nope, this can't be right...

Bottle courtesy of 77ships, thanks! Cloudy brown color, small white edge head. Aroma of vanilla, prunes, caramel. Taste is sweet candied and brandied plum, a bit boozy. Interesting.
