Bottle shared at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Big thanks to Kenny for continuing to carry us along with him on his Hof Ten Dormaal Barrel-Aged Project Odyssey. Pours cloudy, orange-gold with a creamy white head. Nose of doughy bread and tangy tangerine. Medium sweet flavor with sugary white bread, alcohol, booze-soaked citrus. Full bodied with lively, creamy carbonation. Warming finish with sweet tangerines, oranges, light dry dough. Decent overall. Reasonably drinkable for 12%.

On tap. Pours with a hazy golden hued body with a thin white head. Aromas are boozy, marzipan, musty barrels, deep fruit complexities, warming malty. Flavors show lots of grapes, warming alcohol, medium ester, boozy, malty, warming, medium tannin, apple. Lower carbonation and seemingly a bit drier than some of the others.

75cl Bottle at Sloshfest, mini blind-tasting. Hazy golden colour, white head. Aroma of ripe fruits, thick malts, yeast, fruits like banana, white wine and a little brandy, plastic. Flavour is medium sweet, yeast, plastic, a little earth, light fruity, light sourness in the otherwise bitter finish. Not much barrel here imo. Medium-bodied. Base beer is not great either.

Bottle at the De Molen second Tuesday tasting. Pours a clear amber with a frothy white head and medium carbonation. The aroma is somewhat weak, but the richness and alcohol were there in the background. The flavour is rich but too "up front" for me. It reminded me of Lucozade. There wasn’t much else other than the alcoholic oaky Armagnac. It wasn’t for me!

Corked bottle, courtesy of Jesper
Cloudy light amber color; small head. This has probably stronger vegetables aroma and flavor than the previous sisters. Less boozy than the others, with no Armagnac character.
Poor.

Sample @ local tasting @ brouwerij Oirschots Bier. Golden orange colour with a small white head. Smells nuts, wood (oak), alcohol, malts, nailpolish. Tastes sweet, softer then expected, malts, some sweet nuts. Not as alcoholic as nr 1 and 2, full body, soft carbo.

Cream-coloured head over copper-amber, at first faintly hazed beer. End of bottle solid yeast. Parsley and other fine garden herbs; delicate caramel nose. Brandy, alcoholsweetness, but also a tad buttery. Bitter finish, rather vegetable. Warming up, warm grain taste. Alcoholheat, very slick, at least medium bodied. Good, if still a tad crude compared to similar foreign tries.
