Thx. to Dave // 75 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBSG 2012 // limited to 1345 bottles // part of our Hof ten Dormaal BA partial horizontal // quite interested about this barrel and probably my favorite of the 4 we tried // darker orange than Madeira, lightly hazy, hazier also. med. white head // smells sweet of oranges, sweet malts, mellow marmalade and enough barrel, I assume that this is sweet armagnac // tastes of sweet oranges, marmalade, bitter spices, sweet malts, yeast and plenty of fruitiness, flowers, the whole is rather round and rounded off with barrel and light complimenting booze / liquor // smooth & round bodied // neat

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops, malt, caramel, and armagnac. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, caramel, armagnac, and dusty hops, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle sample @ 2nd RBBSG, August 11th 2012. Courtesy of Dave. Orangé, col léger blanc. Arôme prend ici plus de place que la version Madère, avec ce côté pomme caramélisé typique pour l’Armagnac. Palais reprend bien le profile d’Armagnac, avec ici une version plus en avant dans le profile malté gardant néanmoins le style belge sucre une pointe sucrée avec en retrait quasi en fin de bouche l’effet léger boisé.
