Bottle, bought @ the brewery. Dark brown color. Raisin and whisky notes in the aroma. Raisinny sweet flavor with soft oak and whisky notes. Hints of laurel and alcohol. Powerful, yet refined, but maybe a bit too thin.

Winter version of Embrasse, a luxury beer that has been aged on whisky- and cognac barrels for three months; the brewer even suggests to serve this warm with whipped cream, like an Irish coffee, and although I am all for such adventurous experiments, I stay on the safe side this time and taste it in the normal way at cellar temperature. Light beige, thick head, colour a very dark bronze; complex aroma of chocolate, coffee, peat, wood, cognac and whisky noticeable, rosemary, dates, liquorice, meat broth, vanilla, dried plums. Deep and rich malt profile, lots of spicy notes, bitter chocolate, woody finish with again the hints of both whisky and cognac, smokey touch, vinous feeling, warming and long finish. What a treat on a gloomy winter day.
