Monte Cristo is een donker en intens bier dat elf weken heeft gerijpt op eikenhouten vaten. Daarnaast is er sherry aan het bier toegevoegd. Het resultaat is een degustatiebier met en geweldige balans en tonen van vanille en noten. Monte Cristo heeft een eigen glas van zeer bescheiden formaat. Dit complexe bier is gebrouwen om rustig van te genieten. Het kleine glas helpt het drinktempo vertragen, opdat je alle smaken en aroma's in alle rust tot je kunt nemen.

Аромат сразу очень солодовый, очень много ноток карамельных от виски, немного пряностей, прямо перец есть, немного меда и намек на сухофрукты. Цвет темный но не черный. Вкус нормальный и даже весьма благородный, но как же меня бесят эти нотки от вискаря. Противные сладкие нотки карамели крепкого алкоголя, много бочки и нота сухофруктов. При глотке немного горчинки лайтовой, снова специи и виски, даже слишком много бочки. В Целом пиво то норм, но максимум не мое.

1st May 2024, Toogoloo. 33cl bottle all to myself. Ruby red hue to the dark brown body, beige top. Semi-sweet malty brew with a good dose of alcohol, dates/figs sort of flavours, very pleasant.

Belgian Happiness provided this 33 cl uniquely shaped bottle not so long ago. I will drink out of my Deliriuim snifter this evening, just because. With a pour I see a dark mahogany colored liquid finished by a skim of silvery foam that benefits from ongoing carbonation. The scent is of very ripe fruit and candy. And the taste is a bit different for the style but interesting enough. Quite sweet initially, grain, overly ripe plums, sweet malt, syrup, a touch of red wine, wood and a bit of vanilla. I think the flavor improves as the beer warms up. Glad to have a sampling, likely one and done even though I'm a fan of the style.
