Bottle from Burg Bieren, Ermelo. Aroma is huge brandy with roasted malt, chocolate, lots of oak, dried red fruits, marzipan, booze, raisins. Flavour is sweet and moderate bitter. Body is medium to full. Nice Brandy BA with tons of wood, dried fruits and some booze. Nice one to sip on.

Microbar, Reykjavik. Bottle. Opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Pretty light for the abv. Very light actually. Fluffy dark malts, mellow dark chocolate, slightly tangy. Smooth and light Armangac, but rich too. Mild spice and a trace of wood. Little fruity Armangac on the light finish. Just a mild warming afterglow. Stupidly drinkable for the abv.

Same problem as the 8.8 had, way too much barrel, and not nearly enough beer remaining. Tons of Armagnac (which I love), little bit of alcohol, sweet, rich, warming and smooth. Hint of sharpness from the base beer, some licorice. Totally unbalanced.

Bottle at Wildeman, thanks Skortilla! Black pour. Aroma of red fruit, chocolate and creamy roasted malt. Rich flavor of chocolate, red fruit, vinous grape, caramel, creamy roasted malt and a long finish. Really good.

Bottle shared thanks to Puttetjes. Black with beige head. Marzipan, light cognac, blackberries, drop, quite roast, bit dusty, rum, booze, dried strawberries, soft vanilla, dark chocolate. Quite sweet, medium bitter and light sour. Over medium bodied with slick feel and low carbonation. Quite unusual bit it’s quite nice, especially the taste which is mellow for the high abv.
