Bottled. A red-brown beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, alcohol, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and alcohol, leading to a dry alcholic finish.

Tap. Pours deep clear ruby with a small tan head. Aroma is molasses and cognac, not strong. Flavor is molasses, cognac, medium sweet, no bitterness, a bit of lemon zest, dried fruits. Strong warming finish. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Not bad, but not anything particularly interesting either.

Head gone in secs; deep dark-brown beer with some reddish sheen. Fine old brandy nose, sweet-ish, cakesyrup. Bitter-roasted flavour, with sweet alcoholic:brandy background flavour; with sweet, dried fruit as banana, dark plum. Touch of mint. Medium bodied, seemingly a bit light for its ABV. Alcoholheat; bit sticky feel, despite the lively carbonation. The nose is great. The rest is a tad sweet/syrupy, but definitely one of the better ones in the Project.

Sweet fruity aroma a little like jam. Really smooth silky texture. This one has become pleasantly sweet and has a warming finish.

Bottle sample @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012. Brune foncée/cuivrée, col fin beige. Arôme léger en Cognac, grains aspect céréales et caramel avec une fine note au bouquet de Brandy, faible en mûrissage boisé et de raisin. Le tout garde néanmoins un léger côté fleuri, houblonné. Palais présente un profil presque de fraise/cerise, malté moyen avec le Cognac qui est bien là. Note de malt léger et caramel avec encore une fois une dominance des 12% mais cette fois en positif. Le palais reste épais huileux voire siropé.
