Bottle from Lekkerbier, Sint Nicolaasga. Aroma is heavy on the cognac with dried fruits, plenty of wood, red grapes, dark malt, caramel, more oak. Flavour is medium sweet with a light bitterness. Touch of alcohol. Body is medium. The cognac barrel comes out nicely here.

Rating the 5th Horseman at 12% as Series 13 vintage 2018 330 ml bottle Pours a very dark brown with light head. Aromas of oaky cognac, sweet caramel, raisins and bready malts. Flavours of dry oaky cognac, bread crusts, raisins, a little figs and nice toasty caramel malts. I am getting to be a fan of barrel aged Old Ales

Bottle. Color: Very dark ruby, light brown head. Aroma: Chocolate, dark malt, Cognac. Taste: Dark and red fruit, dark malt, lightly boozy Cognac, oak tannins, some chocolate. Hints of vanilla and hints of nuts at finish. Medium sweet, moderate bitter. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Nice.
Hm.. heard a lot of good things about this BA series lately, and whilst it's very good and tasty, especially for Dutch beers, it's not fantastic. That said: a real tasty beer. Smooth, OK body, bitter, gentle and sweet. Could do with more cognac.
