Thx. to Travlr / Gene for this one @ RBBWG 2013 the morning-after tasting – this was the last Embrasse variation I still hadn’t tried yet. Consequently this is also my #1750 beer rating & #800 Belgian beer (I count DvdK as a Belgian brewery because they are awesome so I claim them). Aged for 3 months 1/3 whisky & 1/3 cognac. The bottle itself is a bit old now, what 2 years? Dunno… Pours a murky wooden brown with café au lait head. Smells sweet of milk chocolate, lots, sugar, creamy, woody with some cognac & whisky. Taste delicious, sweet with milk chocolate, chocolate milk, brown sugar, creamy, vanilla, cupcakes, warming but not boozy in the back with cognac warmth and smoothness plus light peat. Creamy, chocolate milk substance, tough light but perfectly fine. Delicious beer. Quite love it.

66cl bottle #16382 Cuivrée, col moka. Arôme de whisky, léger tourbe avec un malt grillé et caramel le tout garde en retrait un parfum houblonné fleuri. Palais est réchauffant, alcool est agréable on ressent de belles pointes de whisky et cognac, le palais fini sur qcq notes de cendre/tourbe et de barrique laissant des notes boisées et de chêne. J’apprécie bien ce petit profile malt caramel, moka qui au fini conserve cette note de houblon fleuri avec qcq houblon citron.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours opaue dark brown with very little head. Med body. Flavor is dark fruit with some cola and a little sweet dark malt. And a bit vinous. There is subtle oak running throughout. Very nice.

Bottle from Bier Koning. Came in black paper - with a label saying ’matured on oak whiskey barrels’ - no mention of Cognac! Also abv is 9.0%. Opaque brown beer with a small tan head. Softish dry palate, a little carbonation. Rich malt - creamy with bitter toffee. Just a light hint of vanilla oak whiskey. Mildy bitter aftertaste. Alright but was hoping for something more barrely!

€4,- bottle from De Bierkoning. Dark brown color with huge beige head and good lacing. Aroma’s of lemon, sour fruit, some roast. Flavor somewhat sweet’n’sour’n’bitter. I get the impression that this brewer had some problems with infections, which made him decide to throw the brews in oak barrels. The few times I had the regular Embrasse I thought it was a great brew and was very excited to try an oak aged version. The fact that it’s become sour is very disappointing.
