The beer boasts a deep dark brown colour. On the nose, a soothing waft of vanilla on a rich foundation of sweet caramel and dark chocolate, associated with a discrete touch of Armagnac.
On the palate, we discover a perfect balance gives room to the fruity aromas. In the aftertaste, we value tannin from the wood and the sweeter malt flavours.

0.375l bottle. Hazy dark brown body with a thin beige head. Aroma of cocoa, vanilla, wood, apples and some prunes. Taste of cocoa, prunes, raisins, wood, quince and a bit of booze. Smooth, silky beer. I have a thing for Chimay beers, but this is great even comapred to the others. Awesome.

Dark brown colour with thin head. Aroma of dried fruits and a little nuttiness. Flavour has a sweet note of malts, raisins and dates. The woody dryness of the barrel is very noticeable and pleasant.

375ml wire corked bottle, kindly shared by Finn. Creamy, dense off-white head that stayed fine over a dark brown body. Fair lacing. Inviting stewed fruits and caramel on the nose. Mid-sweet vanilla taste, impacts of prunes, caramel, and bread. Woody. Lingering dried fruity ending, lightly roasted. Full bodied. Enjoying sipper early on a Saturday afternoon. (Tromsø 23.01.2021).
